Day 55

When I returned after the holidays, I found that my mesocosm was still alive and thriving. Although one of the ferns is starting to turn brown and die, the other plants have grown a lot, especially the grass. I haven't seen the cricket, so I think it is no longer alive. This isn't that surprising, though, as crickets only have a life span of maximum 3 months, and this experiment has been going on for almost two months.
