Data was collected on November 19th, 2019 in the Biology lab at Umass Amherst in Amherst, MA. The subject of study was ,Gryllus spp., the common field cricket found in the Northeast. The goal of this data collection was to measure the frequency at which male Gryllus spp. exhibited courting activities or competitive behaviors while in the presence of another male, and a female. Thirty crickets were used for this experiment, 20 males and 10 females. Before the experiment began, the crickets were identified as either male or female, and placed in two separate containers by the observers based on sex.
