"For the bug external stimuli lab, we picked an insect to experiment on and my group chose the Madagascar Hissing Cockroach. We could test several different materials and investigate the reaction of the bug. We chose to use different habitats and environments. After building four different environments, we allowed the cockroach to choose where it wanted to settle, recording the amount of times it chose each habitat. We then concluded that the Madagascar Hissing Cockroach was more comfortable in the dead material (leaves, grass, etc.) environment."

"The bug external stimuli lab was a lab to see how a bug would react to external stimuli or changes in its environment. My group tested a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach and saw how it responded to the presence of light. We saw that cockroach would rather be in extremely dark environments compared to neutral or bright environments. Other groups tested different bugs with different external stimuli to see how that certain bug would react. This taught us about how organisms react to stimuli, an also about the bug we tested. "

"The Bug External Stimuli ADI Lab was a lab that had the purpose to see how certain external stimuli affected certain bugs. The bugs you could test on included cockroaches, beetles, earthworms, beetles, mealworms, crickets, and snails; the external stimuli you could choose included humidity, light, temperature, texture, etc. The specific bug and external stimuli our group selected were the Bess beetle and humidity respectively. Our lab proved that Bess beetles don't have a preference when it comes to humid and arid areas."
