In Some sources, animal behavior has been divided into two categories: innate (instinct) and learning behavior.
In innate (instinct) behavior, we have some examples. One of them is the building of nests.
We have some insects that build nests, for example wasps or ants. But some other use nests but do not build of It .I have the insects that start to spin a silk cocoon for entry to other stage of their life. I know spinning of cocoons has a kind of innate behavior but in my situation, I provide some nest for them and the insects, first start to find the nest then start spinning cocoons. Now I want to know if using the nest that I provide for insects shows a kind of innate behavior of them?
