Only one word needs to be added for it to be accurate (if unexciting).
No, it's implicit the way it is.
Perception entails consciousness, unless you have a weird definition of perception.
A definition of perception according to which insects have it doesn't sound too weird to me.
There.
This could be checked giving a pinprick to someone in a coma while scanning their brain. (And I'm being generous and not assuming a definition of consciousness which excludes healthy people in deep dreamless sleep, because if perception entailed consciousness in that sense, alarm clocks would work much less reliably.)
