In the grass vs On the grass

Both 'in the grass' and 'on the grass' are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'In the grass' is used when something (such as a small animal) is surrounded by or hidden within the grass. Meanwhile, 'on the grass' is used when something is physically located on top of the grass.
