My group chose this experiment because it seemed like a fun question to do and different from what others were doing. Grasshoppers are 2nd on the trophic level. Grasshoppers are herbivores and are considered primary consumers . A grasshopper's main non living abiotic factor is sunlight since grasshoppers thrive in warm environments. There are many different variations of colors for grasshoppers they'll camouflage into wherever they are living. When we were looking for grasshoppers we usually found them in the grass or camouflaged into the indian grass. Grasshoppers are aware of their coloring and usually try to find something of that color to camouflage into. - Sarah
