Are there more insects in the flower plots compared to the grass plots?

Background Information

The prairie was built on a pre-existing football field at Free State High School.  Dr. Helen Alexander, some other researchers at KU and Free State teacher Julie Schawrting spiked the creation of the prairie in the summer of 2014.  The question that my group and I came up with sounds like this: Are there more insects in the plots with grasses and 2x forbes compared to other plots?  There was no specific reason we chose this question, but most of our ideas for questions had to do with flowers and the taller grass so that probably had some inspiration.   

According to the sites we have researched, there are more than 10 million insects in prairies during the plants and flowers season.  Some insects even rely on the pollen in the flowers and plants. These insects are also known as plant pollinators.  The plants and flowers could also attract secondary consumers and scavengers as they are the main producers in food chain prairies. In conclusion, the flowers and forbes definitely increase the amount of insects and higher tier consumers.

Day 1:  On day 1 we got 4 sticky traps and wrote our names on all of them. We then placed them in plots 2, 3, 7, and 8. Then we left them overnight.

In Conclusion:

We wanted to see if the prairie plots with more flowers had more insects than plots with fewer flowers. We put sticky traps on plots 2, 3, 7, and 8. We found that plots 2 and 3, the plots with more flowers, had 10-13 more bugs than plots 7 and 8 with fewer flowers. We also found in our research that bugs are attracted to plots with more flowers than plots with fewer flowers because of the nectar in the flowers that attract plant pollinators. In conclusion, plots with more flowers attract more bugs than plots with fewer flowers.
