Mukda and mine experiment we wanted to know if the cockroach prefer dry or moist soil. I had predicted that the cockroach would choose moist soil because in Madagascar they are found in the forest in tree logs. We had put dry and moist soil on opposite sides. The cockroach went to the dry soil 4 out of 5 time and went to the moist soil 1 out of 5 times. Results were uncertain whether the cockroach prefers dry or moist soil because it was difficult to make the cockroach decide where to go. The cockroach just seems like they want to run and get away from us :(.
