Insects work mostly automatically, their actions get triggered by specific impulses.
There was an experiment where they observed a beetle doing his mating… Things. I don’t remember what exactly he did. Anyway, by disrupting the task and putting the bug in the same place as before, it would start the next action again and again, not realizing that it’s attempts were futile. The bug could not learn and adapt to the situation. It was forced to play through its program linearly.
