Pygmy grasshoppers are small insects that can have a range of different colors and patterns. For example, some individuals are solid black, and others are gray with a large white stripe going down the center of their back.
Pygmy grasshoppers live in forest habitats that undergo periodic wildfires. As a result, the grasshoppers’ habitat consists of some areas that are burnt (black and sooty) due to recent fire and other areas that are unburnt (lighter and more heterogeneous).
Which of the following statements is true about the pygmy grasshoppers described above?
(Choice A)
In burnt areas, striped grasshoppers are equally likely to be seen by predators as black grasshoppers.
(Choice B)
In unburnt areas, striped grasshoppers are more likely to be caught and eaten by visually-oriented predators compared to black grasshoppers.
(Choice C)
In burnt areas, black grasshoppers are likely better camouflaged than striped grasshoppers.
