Purpose - To study insect diversity in the Bachelor Reserve and the "Mile Square."

Procedure - To set up five sample areas in random locations throughout the Bachelor Reserve and "Mile Square." In each of these locations we will collect leaf litter samples and place them in berlese funnels for observation. We will then compare data from our observations and try and find similarities and differences.

Expectations - We believe that we will find a more diverse insect population in the Bachelor Reserve because of its undeveloped landscape. We would expect that the "Mile Square" would have a less diverse population of insects because of the human disturbance in the area.
