Pain is can be caused by several things one being neurophysiological. Meaning if you have nerves....you feel pain.

And if that is the case....how do you feel about killing all those poor little bugs when you drive down the road in the summer time?
Nociceptors are the nerve cells we and other animals have that feel pain. Insects do not have these receptors, however it could be possible that they feel it in another way, but the majority of entymologists seem to think they don't feel pain.
