  • Which color of walkingstick was easiest to find? Which was hardest? Why do you think that was the case?
  • The brown walking stick was easiest to find. That was the case because the brown walking stick contrasted the most between the 3 types of walking stick.

  • Which color of walkingstick survived best when there was a time limit on feeding? Why do you think that color survived best?
  • The green-brown walking stick survived the best when there was a time limit on feeding. I think that color survived best because it managed to camouflage itself very well in the bushes and was hard to spot.

  • Discuss the results of the walkingstick predation in terms of adaptations.
  • The different types of walkingstick are adapted with different colors so as to camouflage themselves easier in accordance to the habitat they were in which was bushes.
