Being aware of the other dimensions predicted by M-Theory would also mean interacting with the other dimensions. This would mean that the time the insects spent in our three spatial dimensions would be random and arbitrary. Imagine if there were a 2 dimensional world (a plane) running through our three dimensional world. The creatures who occupied this world would see us constantly disappearing and reappearing, and rapidly changing shape, as we moved in and out of their plane. If the insects did live in other dimensions, this is how we would see them, and this simply isn't the case.

Insects and creatures like bats or dolphins do occasionally pick up signals or waves that are not detectable to humans by their sense of perception.
So maybe insects do know about some things not perceptible to humans.
However , when one talks of dimensions , we are faced with a domain of uncertainly and doubt.
Are there dimensions that we humans do not know?
There are a lot of puzzling questions in this universe that perhaps we cannot hope to understand.
Coming back to your question , "are insects aware of other dimensions?". , well , i think that its only a possiblity ;
Insects maybe able to pick up some waves or signals ;but its very improbable (though not impossible) that insects know about some dimensions that are elusive to humans.
Ha ha , maybe if the dimensions are microscopic the insect world is familiar with them and we humans are hopelessly ignorant of it unless someone focusses a magnifying glass on the other dimension. But i consider this scenario as very improbable; though iam not sure.

Insects may be able to see parts of the spectrum that humans cannot. Bees apparently see into the ultra violet. Other insects may see into the infra red. But being aware of other dimensions, no.

Almost certainly not. There is no evidence for this, even though some modern physics theories argue for "curled up" dimensions that could be as large as 10 microns---big enough to be felt by insects.

Awareness is difficult to tell, and I don't understand what do you mean by "other dimensions".
Other creatures may have senses or sensors quite different and more sensitive than ours. For instance bats.
Insects and dogs are quite sensitive to minimal chemical traces. Therefore their awareness is quite different from our own, which is mainly based on sight.

They are of far inferior intellect to humans, so they may not be aware of as many dimensions as we are. There are eleven theoretical dimensions in String Theory.

Yes, but only the really smart ones.

rofl...
If they are, how are we to know?!
