Just checked wikipedia page... they have like 100K neurons only.. wtf!!! How can nature cramp all senses, including spatial, motion, life maintenance and general thinking into just 100K neurons?

A lot of the low level stuff is outsourced to biochemistry: the physical properties of proteins, and the various self-regulating biochemical systems of an animal, can "encode" a lot of intelligence, easing up on the computational demands of the brain proper.

Hmm... is there something that can estimate how many bits of information in portia, each neuron+synapse combination might be encoding?

100k is already a lot. Plenty of insects get by with a couple of thousand, and pack a whole bunch of complex behaviour, including flight, into that.
