Answer:

What exactly is behavior? It is defined as the way that organisms respond to their environment and to internal signals. In addition to many basic behaviors that are shared by other invertebrates, such as mating, there are some insect species that are capable of more advanced forms of interaction with each other and with their environments. There are two types of behavior that can be observed in organisms: innate behavior and learned behavior. Innate behavior is genetically encoded. Flight and mating habits are considered innate behaviors. You have probably seen a clear example of innate insect behavior called the dorsal light reaction. Flying insects will sense the direction of light coming from the sun and fly in a way that keeps the sun overhead, or on their dorsal side. This is a means for the insect to maintain a flight plan that is parallel to the ground. You may have witnessed that this innate behavior is not so helpful when a moth encounters an artificial light source and flies in continuous circles around it to keep the light on its dorsal surface. At times, the moth is not able to fly away from that light source and, in essence, becomes trapped. Another insect behavior that you have probably experienced firsthand is sound production. Some insects produce sounds in order to communicate. An example is the chirping of crickets that often lulls us to sleep on warm summer nights.
