Cricket investigation

   Background Research:

      Female crickets have a ovipositor in the rear. Crickets are omnivores and feed on organic materials. They live under rocks and logs in meadows (many are nocturnal). Crickets are eaten  by spiders, some wasps, ground beetles, small rodents, and lizards. They are either brown or black. They are an important food source for other animals.

   Question:

      Do crickets prefer light or dark?

   Hypothesis:

       If we give crickets the choice of light or dark
       then we think the crickets will prefer dark
       because crickets aren't seen or heard in the light as much as the dark.

Experimental setup:
 The first time we put a cricket in the tank the cricket was in there for a long period of time. So then we got more and all of them were also in there for a long time. Actually 20 minutes.

Mini Conclusion:
 I learned that crickets like the dark more than the light because they spent a long time inside the dark tube than outside in the light.
