Or this, which is mind-blowing: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/dragonfly-undertakes-epic-multi-generational-migration-each-year-180971190/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/dragonfly-undertak... Insects that have large migration patterns - all of the individuals die before coming back to the initial spot; only their descendants continue the cycle. How?!

Maybe epigenetics? I mean blank slate theory is off the table anyway... In addition think about how bees can tell harvest locations to each other by dancing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waggle_dance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waggle_dance This dance is probably also something those bees know before being born.
