When the mealworm is touched with a feather, it wiggles. This response is a reflex because it happens automatically. Also, mealworm behaviors could be instinctive. When bran flakes are placed in the petri dish with the mealworm, it moves toward the bran flakes. This response is instinctive because it involves recognizing the stimulus and then acting upon behaviors until they are all performed. I hope this is the answer that you were looking for.
