In this activity you will begin with a population that has equal numbers of white, pink, and red “love bugs” that will be fed on by you, the predator. As the predator, you prefer to eat the white colored “love bugs” rather than the red and pink “love bugs”.
Write a hypothesis that will predict what will happen to the ratio of white to pink to red “love bugs” if the predator more easily preys upon the white “love bugs”. Record your hypothesis in the space provided on your student answer page.
