I did a biology lab on crickets and their behavior towards light and shaded areas. Crickets, being nocturnal, naturally tended to go toward the shaded areas. We then manipulated the experiment to see if different colored filters of light (yellow, green, purple, red) changed their behavior. Our results were that in yellow, more crickets were in the shaded area. In green, more crickets were in the green light. In purple, more crickets were in the purple light, and in red light, more crickets were in the red light. I can't think of any way to explain this and was thinking that maybe different colors had different intensities... Any help or clarification would be great!
