Abstract:

Have you ever wondered why certain insects settle in only one environment or many similar areas? This experiment will completely look into this question. As all insects must have a specific reason as to why they live in their homes. This experiment seeks to see what insects live in what environments. For example, in the woods, the trees block the ground from getting as much sunlight as the field and garden. For obvious reasons, these aspects will affect the soil around them which is what we will be testing
