Hey little insect crawling on top of my work monitor. Why are you here? Shouldn't you be outside with the other insects?
... I mean, we both know you're illiterate.
You make me wonder...
Does an insect or any other non-human being really comprehend that there are words to be read on a page or screen.
What level of intelligence is required to recognize some other being's abilities, ones "we" lack?
Are we in SETI, even listening to the frequencies which aliens use? (not a new question)

Considerinf even humans need to learn to read before they recognize what it is, I'd say probably not.
With that said the question in my mind is... could they be taught? Not to read, but to recognize they are words at all... Probably not an insect but a chimp maybe!
