    The number of green bodied insect would probably increase in the grass habitat. The insects that are green would be harder to spot by predators and therefore more likely to survive and produce offspring. The process of natural selection would favor the green color of the body and the future generations will have an increase in numbers of green bodied individuals over the tan bodied individuals.
