I believe the answer is: Classical conditioning

Classical condiitoning happen when a certain biologically potent stimulus is paired with a previously neutral stimuli and make the subject the biological/psychological response everytime they exposed to that stimuli.

In the scenario above, flying insects is the stimuli and the act of running away is the response.
