Pill Bug Attractancy Experiment

Ordinarily, the data supports the hypothesis because most ants did go to the honey. The results make sense because the honey had the most sugar in it. Accordingly, ants are attracted to foods with lots of sugar. This is how the results made sense.

There is a significant difference (p-0.009) on the type of the sugar concentrated solution preferred (Table 1). The interactions between treatments indicate that there is significant difference between the 5% and the 30% sugar concentrated solutions preference by ants compared to the 15% and 30% sugar concentrated which is insignificant (Table 2). We therefore can accept the hypothesis that ants prefer high concentrated sugar solution than the less concentrated. In most studies it has been shown that ants prefer sugary foods and according to Went et al. (1972) it is because sugar is in abundance, it is easy to store, provides high energy levels and its ease of digestion.

Movincool Classic Plus 26, USA). Pupae collection and Irradiation: Eggs were collected and washed with distilled water and sieved with a very fine screen and then measured volumetrically. Larvae of oriental fruit fly were reared in the laboratory using artificial standard larval diet and kept in larger bowls contained 1.5 to 4 cm thick sawdust used for pupation. Sawdust was sieved and collected pupae were transferred into Petri dishes and irradiated by exposing them to gamma radiation from a radioactive Cobalt-60 source.

The hands were washed. Goggles were placed on the eyes for extra protection. A petri dish containing nine pill bugs were obtained and set aside for later use. Two water bottles’ ends were cut and taped to each other creating a miniature tunnel for the pill bugs to crawl in. 50 mL of tap water was obtained in a small beaker and then was slowly moved into the lid of the bottle using a funnel.

In our experiment, we examined the behavior of isopods by conducting the experiment based on our hypothesis: “If ten isopods are put into the test chamber, 5 in sand and 5 in soil, which environment will the pillbug prefer.” We hypothesized that the isopods would favor the soil more than the sand because pillbugs are typically found in soil and not in sand. Pillbugs are favored in soil because the natural role of a pillbug is to eat dead and decaying things but, in sand there are no nutrients available for pillbugs. Pill bugs are mostly found in moist environments, due to having gills, gills only function when they are wet so pill bugs will inhabit places in which air holds a lot of water

School in the Middle Colonies were they taught kids how to read, write, and math. The Middle colonies in the 1600’s to early 1700’s were known as “breadbasket” colonies making flour, rye, and wheat and having many factories. These colonies had the most fertile soil of all the colonies which made it very easy to plant most crops. If the farmers had a steel plow to help them do their daily farm work it would be much faster and ease the work.

Anthonomus grandis Anthonomus grandis, more commonly know by the name Boll Weevil, is a type of beetle that primarily eats cotton buds and many types of flowers. Known as a pest, the Weevil originates in Mexico and migrated to the United States during the 1890s. By the year 1920, almost all states that grew cotton were suffering under the Boll Weevil infestation. The United States government has passed many different programs in order to control the weevil infestation, and have been primarily successful in their attempts, despite the Weevil’s spread to South America in the late 1940s and 1950s, and to this day, has infested Brazil.

Situation Honey bee is One of the world's most important creatures. These little insects are the pollinators that most of our crops depend on to set fruit. Honey bees are so important, in fact, that we have them to thank for 1/3 of the food We eat, including 80% of our fruits and vegetables. Crops that are highly dependant on honey bee pollination include avocado, almonds, kiwi and apples.

According to Yong, Coffee Berry Borers are beetles that can make holes into coffee berries and lay eggs in the bean itself. The experiment was to see why the Coffee Berry Borer can withstand caffeine while other beetles clearly can’t stand its own with the poisonous caffeine. Ceja-Navarro and his team set up an experiment where they tested the beetles by first examining the feces of their normal diet. Then they promptly fed the beetles with an antibiotic and once again examined the feces. The feces of the beetles that were fed antibiotics was chock full of caffeine.
