The goal of finding an area with high humidity can be called the reference input, as it is the desired value that the wood louse is seeking to achieve. The actual input would be the humidity of the wood louse's current environment, a disturbance would be any factor that can affect the humidity-seeking behavior (such as temperature or light intensity), and the output would be the wood louse's movement towards the area with high humidity.
