The Cricket Behavior.

Abstract: Cricket behavior is an interesting thing to observe and can be influenced by many factors. We attempted to create the crickets' natural habitat by introducing an egg carton into the otherwise empty tub. Our hypothesis is that the crickets will move from the emptiness of the tub to the area that we have changed to appear as the crickets' natural habitat. We predict that the crickets will crawl into the familiar area because it …

…the first and second trials we had introduced some salt and sugar into the container. Although we washed these out before replacing the carton, remnants still could have influenced the behavior of the crickets during the second trial. The results of this experiment show that the natural habit of crickets can successfully be reproduced in a laboratory setting. Should the need ever arise to breed crickets, our experiment shows that it is a realistic possibility.
