What is a different term for "non-static"?

Question

I would like to add a comment saying: // Here comes the block of non-static members.
But I would like to avoid negations. So I would like to use another term for "non-static".

To be clear:
I mean "static" like in Integer.valueOf("42")
I mean "non-static" like in anObject.equals(otherObject)

I'm coding in Java / xtend. But I think it is a general question. So it could address any language.

@Zabuza The questions is "is there". So if you believe there is no term for this, your proper answer should be "no", not closing... — Olivier Grégoire, Apr 24 '20 at 15:10
Java itself uses the term. See https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/reflect/Method.html — Gereon, Apr 24 '20 at 15:15
@dodekja Yes, I mean variables and constants (and methods, too) :) — armin.miedl, Apr 24 '20 at 17:30
@OlivierGrégoire: Good hint, I changed the question (without changing its spirit) — armin.miedl, Apr 24 '20 at 17:44

I would write the comment as

// Here comes the block of instance members / methods.

methods are also members of the class so I'm not sure if you'd need that separation – RobCo Apr 24 '20 at 15:01
