1.If we count the number of insects present then there will be more plants in the water spender plants and less in the water savers because the insects and bugs would get water much easier from water spenders from water savers since the water spender would be using water while being eaten and that could give the bugs and insects eating it more nutrients from the water its using

2.If we count the number of beak marks on each plant then i think the water spenders would have more since a real caterpillar would eat the water spender since it would use water while being eaten but the bird would think the clay caterpillar is distracted with eating the leaf and would be able to swoop in and eat the clay caterpillar with ease.

# data[].attributes.body
If we count the number of insects present then there will be more insets on the water-saver plant and there will be the least amount of insects on the water-spender plants because the water spender plant will have the least amount of water in it so it will have a small number of insects trying to eat it.

If we count the number of bird marks on the clay caterpillar there will be a lot of bird marks on the caterpillar near the water saver plant and little marks on the water spender plant because of the low count of insects on the plant birds might not go there but on the water saver plant, there are more insects on the plant so it might attract more birds and get more marks.

if we will get more information for our hypothesis

# data[].attributes.body
If we count the number of insects present, then there will be the most insects in a water-saver plant and there will be the least insects in a non-native plant. I think this because, in a water-saver plant there is more water inside of the plant for insects to use. I think there will be less insects in a non-native plant because the non-native plant might not have the resources the water-saver plant has that insects need.

If we count the number of beak marks on a clay caterpillar, there will be more beak marks on a clay caterpillar in a water-saver plant and there will be the least beak marks on a clay caterpillar in a non-native plant. I think this because, as I said in the first hypothesis, I think there will be the most insects in a water-saver plant and there will be the least insects in a non-native plant.

If my hypotheses are supported, at the research site I will expect to see more insects and beak marks in a water-saver plant. I will also expect to see the least insects and beak marks on a non-native plant.

Research Question 1: If we counted the number of insects present, then there will be more insects at the water saver plant because it provides food during the winter through the summer while the water spender plant does not give you food until it is summer. The least number of insects will be at the unrestored area with non-living plants because I think there is nothing that provides food for the insects or any type of animal. I think more insects will be at the water saver plant in the winter through the summer. Research Question 2: If we counted the number of bird marks, then I think there will be more insects on the water saver plant because for the same reason it needs food and water all seasons and only the water saver plant can do that not the water spender plant. The lowest amount of insects will probably be at the Water Spender plant because it does not have that much food in the winter but it does in the summer. Of this, I think more insects will be at the water saver plant all season long.
I think we will see more clay caterpillars on the water saver plant for these reasons.

# data[].attributes.body
If we count the number of beak marks in the clay caterpillar then there will be the most bird attacks in water saver areas and there will be the least bird attacks in non-native areas because the water saver areas will have more insects. They will have more water from the leaves inside the caterpillar because of where and what the caterpillars are eating which are the moist leaves. The bird will have more matter because of the caterpillars eating. The bird will get the most matter from the caterpillar in the water saver plant than the other plants. The non-native plant will have the least number of beak marks because they’ll have the least number of nutrients inside because of their plants.

If we count the number of insects present,  then there will be the most insects on water saver plants and there will be the least insects in non-native plants.  The non-native plant will have the least number of insects because those plants don't grow near there and won’t have as much water in it compared to the water saver and water spender plant. The water saver plant will have the most insects because it will have more water in its leaves and other parts. Some insects eat the leaves or rest there and will probably prefer green, moist leaves to do that.

# data[].attributes.body
If we count the number of insects present, then there will be the most insects in the water-saver plants and the least insects in non-native plants because water-savers don't give out as much water so there will be more water in the leaves, and non-native plants aren't the insects' original habitat ao they will stay in the habitats they are meant to live in.

If we count the number of beak marks on clay caterpillars, then there will be the most beak marks in clay caterpillars on water-saver plants and the least in clay caterpillars on non-native plants because I think there will be more insects on water-savers, so birds will know that they could get more food there, and the opposite goes for the non-native plants- there will be the least insects on it so the number of birds there will be less.
Evidence on model: there is the same amount of rainfall, but water-spenders use most of its water and the water evaporates, while water-savers save most of its water in its leaves. This means more insects will eat its leaves because of the amount of water. Non-native plants, however, are not the insects' original habitats so insects won't live there.

I think we will see a large variety of plants, and a large number of insects and birds.

If we count the number of bird attacks present, then there will be the most insects in a water saver plant, and there will be the least insects in a water spender plant because : a water spender plant has lees water in the soil than a water saver plant . Also insects love places that have both food (leaves) and water ( from the soil). This Hypothesis is stating that a water saver plant is a perfect for lots clay caterpillar to get lots of beak marks.

If we count the number of bird marks on clay caterpillars then there will be the most attacks in a non native plant and there will be the least amount of bird attacks in a water spender plant, because a non native plant has more insects on them than a water spender plant.This is how a bird knows where to go for food . To wrap this up, I think that the most bird attacks will be on a clay caterpillar will be a non native plant, and the least number of bird attacks will be on the water spenders.

1) If we count the number of insects present, then there will be most in the water-saver plants, and there will be the least amount of insects in non-native plants because bugs go to plants for food, and the water-saver plants have moist leaves. And the reason why I think the insects will prefer moist leaves of water-saver plants over the dry leaves of the water-spender plants is because the bugs can get hydrated more. Also, the non-native plants will have the least amount of insects because the plants might have new substances that the bugs are not used to and might die. So the bugs might stay away for survival.

2) f we count the beak marks on the clay caterpillars, then there will be the most bird attacks on the water-saver plants, and there will be the least bird attacks on the non-native plants because the water-saver plants will have more insects and bigger insects that bird will like to eat. And the reason why I think the non-native plants will have the least amount of bird attacks is because they will have a little insect on them.  Also, the bugs on the non-natve plants might be non-native insects, and the native birds might not attack it.

# data[].attributes.body
1. If we count the number of insects present then there will be the most insects in the water-saver plants and there will be the least insects in the non-native plants because  water-saver plants save their water leaving the soil moist. The water-savers such as the California bush sunflower have attractive, bright colors. Non-native plants such as Black Mustard will not have the most insects because it is unattractive, degraded, and grey. Non-native plants also will not have more insects because it does not provide food for insects like leaves, flowers, fruit, or seeds.

2. If we count the number of beak marks on the clay caterpillars there will be the most beak marks on the water-savers and the least on the non-native plants because because more insects will stay on the water savers and the birds will most likely hunt the plant with more bugs. The clay caterpillar with the least beak marks are the non-native plants because the least amount of bugs are on the non-native plants and the birds will not hunt for bugs that are in the non-native plants.

# data[].attributes.body
If we count the number of insects present, the water spender plants will have the most insects. The water spenders will have more transipiration so the insects can have more water to help them live or for other survival use. The non-native plants will have the least number of insects because the native-insects will not be used to the way it grows or lives and how much transpiration it has. Some of the non-native plant species can also be really dangerous to some insects.

If we look at how many beak marks or missing clay caterpillars or on each plant, the water spenders will have to most and the non-native plants will have the least because the water spenders will attract more insects on it and so, the birds will get used to hunting insects on water spenders. the non-native plant species will have the least bird attacks because the insects don't even go there so the birds will not go there either. Some non-native species can also be dangerous to birds too.

# data[].attributes.body
1) If we count the number of insects present, then there will be the most insects in the area planted with water-spender plants and there will be the least insects in areas planted with non-native plants because water-spender plants produce more water through their leaves so insects will want to live there and get food from there. The least number of insects will be in the area planted with non-native plants because they don’t produce a lot of water and they take over plant areas.

2) If we count the number of beak marks on clay caterpillars, then there will be the most bird attacks in the area planted with water-spender plants and there will be the least number of bird attacks in the area planted with non-native plants because there will be the most insects in the area planted with water-spender plants so the most birds will go in that area to find insects. There will be the least number of bird attacks in the area with non-native plants because not a lot of insects will live or want to be there so birds will not look for insects in that area.

I would expect to see a lot of insects in the areas planted with water-spender plants and the most bird attacks in the area planted with water-spender plants. Also, I would expect to see not many insects and bird attacks in areas planted with non-native plants.

# data[].attributes.body
If we count the number of insects present then there will be the most insects in the water saver plant because it has more water so it would be able to give the insects water, and there will be the least insects in the water spender plant because it spends all it’s water when it gets it. I can prove this because on the model their or more insects on the water saver then the water spender.

If we count the number of beak marks then there will be the most bird attacks in the water spender  plant because since it spend it’s water there would be water on the leaves,  and there will be the least bird attacks in the water saver plant because  there's more water hiding in the soil so the birds won't see it.This can also be proven by my model because.

# data[].attributes.body
If we count the number of insects present, then there will be the most in water-saver plants, and then there will be the least number of insects in non-native plants because there will be more pollen and nectar in water-saver plants, and I think there will be fewer insects on non-native plants because there won’t be lots of water.

If we count the number of beak marks on the clay caterpillars, then there would be the most bird attacks on the water-spender plants because the water comes out of the leaves and they need water to survive. I think there will be the least number of bird attacks on non-native plants because they don’t produce much water.

I think we will see healthy various plants, especially Coastal Sage Scrub and Black Mustard. I also think we might see a healthy variety of bugs.

# data[].attributes.body
1. If we count the number of insects present then there will be the most insects in the water savers and there will be the least insects in the water spender plants because water savers produce both water and food for the insects. But the water spenders can produce little water but mostly food. Also, the water spenders can die quickly.

2. If we count the number of beak marks on the caterpillar then there will be the most bird attacks in water savers and there will be the least bird attacks in non-native plants because water savers can have a lot of insects because of the food and water. I don't think that there will be much at the non-native plants because some of them are poison and only some types of insects and birds can eat them.  So if birds eat them, they can die because of the poison.

I think I might see alive and healthy plants and animals/insects. I might also see insects on water-saver plants. Also, we can see healthy sage scrub and black mustard.

# data[].attributes.body
1. If we count the number of insects present then there will be the most insects in water spender plants and there will be the least insects in the water saver plants because water spenders drops more water and has more leaves than the water saver so water spenders are more attractive.
2. If we count the number of beak marks on clay caterpillars then there will be the most beak marks on clay caterpillars then there will be the least beak marks on clay caterpillars in non-native plants because water savers are more attractive and has more clay caterpillars then non-native plants.

# data[].attributes.body
If we count the number of insects present then there will be more insects in non-native plants and there will be fewer insects in the water-spender plants because not a lot of humans have experimented on non-native plants I think it would have more insects, unlike water-spender plants. I also think water-spender plants would have fewer insects because they give away water.
If we find the highest number of bird attacks on clay caterpillars then there will be the most bird attacks in the water-saver plants and there will be the least bird attacks in the water-spender plants because caterpillars eat leaves, not water. Also in water-savers, the leaves have the water inside not outside of the leaf. Caterpillars eat leaves that have water inside most of the time.

Research Question 1: Which plant mix has the highest number of insects present and which has the lowest number of insects present: (A) water-saver plants, (B) water-spender plants, or (C) non-native plants?

If we compare water saver plants, water spender plants, and unrestrained area with non native plants,then there will be the most insects in water saver,and there will be the least insects in Water spender because there will not be any water in the water spender because it comes out of the leaves right away. There will be more insects in the water saver plants because the plant saves the water  and if the insects get thirsty they can dig into the ground and get the water. Also, the water spender is colorful and might attract insects.

Research Question 2: Where will we find the highest number of bird attacks on clay caterpillars and where will we find the lowest number of bird attacks on clay caterpillars: (A) water-saver plants, (B) water-spender plants, or (C) non-native plants?

If we compare water saver plants, water spender plants, and non-native plants, then there will be the most bird attacks in Non-native plants, and there will be the least bird attacks in Water saver plant because they already checked there many times to look for insects. There will be more Bird attacks in the non native plants because the birds might want to try a non-native plant because it wasn’t there before so then the bird might want to try something new. Also, there is more places a bug can hide in the non native plant than the Water saver plant and the water spender plant.

# data[].attributes.body
1. If we count the number of insects present, then there will be the most insects in the water-saver plant areas, and there will be the least insects in the water-spender plant areas because the water-savers are almost always alive, unlike the water-spenders.  Since water-spender plants use their water all at once, they don’t always have moist soil. This means the insects will want whatever matter and energy are in the water-saver plants.

2. If we count the number of beak marks on each clay caterpillar, then there will be the most bird attacks in the water-saver plants, and there will be the least bird attacks in the water-spender plant areas because the birds like the saver plants along with the insects on the saver plants.

I would expect to see lots of water-saver plants covered in insects and beak marks.

Hypothesis:

1.) If we count the number of insects present then there will be the most insects in water-savers and there will be the least insects in non-native plants because water-savers are vibrant and attractive to bugs such as caterpillars while non-native plants are degraded and less colorful and non-vibrant.

2.) If we count the number of bird attacks
then there will be the most bird attacks in water-savers and there will be the least bird attacks in non-native plants because insects might stay on water-savers because of their attractiveness and vibrance while non-native plants don’t have any of those.

I think we might see clay caterpillars with beak marks on them on water savers. I know we also might see healthy plants taking over the degraded landscape.

If we count the number of insects present then there will be the most insects in water spenders and there will be the least insects in non native plants.(p1)
If we count the number of beck marks then there will be the most bird attacks in water spenders and there will be the least bird attacks in non native plants . (P2)

because  Bug can get more water from water spenders and non native plants have no  pretenders and bugs don't eat them.(p1)
because  birds can get more bugs from water spenders and non native plants have no  pretdrs like bugs.(p2)

# data[].attributes.body
If we count the number of insects present then there will be the most insects in water-saver plants and there will be the least insects in non-native plants because water-savers have more water within and have more leaves and flowers to eat and because non-native plants aren’t as full of water because they are not native to Crystal Cove.
If we count the number of bird attacks then there will be the most bird attacks in water-saver plants because they have the most insects and there will be the least bird attacks in non-native plants because they have the least amount of insects and don’t have attractive colors such as green, so they can easily camouflage as dirt.

I think we will see vibrant healthy coastal sage scrub overpowering the Black Mustard

# data[].attributes.body
1. If we count the number of insects present, then there will be the most insects on the water spender, and the least insects on the non-native plants because the water spender gathers more water. Also the non-native plants will have the fewest due to it being the opposite of the first 2 choices.

2. If we count the number of beak marks on the clay caterpillars, there will be more bird attacks near water-spender plants and the fewest near non-native plants. I think this because there will be more insects on water spender plants which makes the birds peck on them there. There will be the fewest on the non-native plants because there are not many insects that get pollen, and also fewer insects there.

I think I will see healthy plants, such as Coastal Sagesrub and Black Mustard.

1. If we count the number of insects present then there will be the most insects in an area with water saver plants and there will be the fewest insects in an area with water spender plants because of the lack of water and air coming through the water spenders. Also water savers on the other hand provide a good amount of water and air.

2.If we count the number of beak marks on the clay caterpillars then there will be the most bird attacks in an area with water saver plants and there will be the least bird attacks in an area with water spenders because the water savers attract more insects from their water that they provide and that means more birds will attack in a water saver area.

# data[].attributes.body
If we put a even amount of clay caterpillars among the three and compare the beak pecks in the clay caterpillars we can find out witch has the most birds and insects. And if we put a total for let's say 5 maybe 10 clay caterpillars and we can also put up a camo camera and we can put up 3 of them to document the caterpillars. I think there will be more insects at the water spenders plants because they are constantly ejecting water out of the stomata. Therefore I think there will be more insects at the water spender plants instead of the water saver plants and non native plants.

I think I will have WAY more information for my hypotheses.

# data[].attributes.body
If we could count the number of insects present, then there will be the most insects in the water spender plants, and there will be the least insects in the water saver plants, because water saver plants don't spend their water, they save their water but end up unhealthy. I think water spender plants will have the most insects because it spends all their water on themselves and have healthy leaves that insects live off of.

If we count the number of bird pecks on the clay caterpillar,  then there will be the most bird attacks in the water spender plants, and there will be the least bird attacks in the water saver plant, because the water spender has more insects and growth so the birds will go for all the insects. I also think they will have less birds in the water saver plants, because the birds want the insects, but if there is no insects then no birds will show up, so birds don't eat at the water saver plants.

I think we would see alive and healthy insects and plants. They would live longer and have healthy leaves and a healthy stem and get all of the plants and insects needs.
