cricket investigation

Question: What do crickets prefer, fruits or vegetables?

Hypothesis: If I put fruit in one side and vegetable in the other, then the crickets will prefer the vegetable because they're always in grass.


Background Research: Crickets feed on organic materials such as plants and dead stuff, something else that they do is feed on their own dead when there is no other sources or food available. Crickets also have powerful jaws, some even bite humans. They have somewhat flattened bodies  and long antennae.  

This picture shows my experimental setup. I put a pile of apples and a pile of celery in the cage.



This picture shows how I gathered data. As you can see, the crickets mostly stayed on the vegetable side.
