Detailed explanation-1: -Instinct is a type of animal behaviour that need not be learned. A spider does not learn how to spin its web. It is born with the knowledge of web spinning. So, it is an instinctual behaviour.
Detailed explanation-2: -They don’t need to learn how to hunt. Spiders spin their complex webs without learning how to do it from other spiders. Birds and wasps know how to build nests without being taught. These behaviors are called innate.
Detailed explanation-3: -Innate behavior comes from an animal’s heredity. An animal’s instincts are examples of its innate behavior. For example, migrating birds use innate behavior to know when to begin their migration and the route that they should follow. Learned behavior comes from watching other animals and from life experiences.
Detailed explanation-4: -Spinning of web by spiders is an instinctual behaviour.
