Why does the peppered moth has pale wings in countryside?
because in major cities dust and dirt and chemicals from industrial buidings go onto trees in the city so the dark peppered moths have adpated to suit this environment. this is the same thing for the peppered moth who lives in the countryside because their is no industrial buildings in the countryside so the trees aren't spoilt so the moths have adpated to suit to the environment. It's all to do with camoflague to hide from predators!
Is a moth a friend or foe?
Both, some help and some hurt. Not all moths are the same species.
What observations did Darwin use to develop the concept of peppered moths?
Darwin discovered Natural Selection. He said that if certain members of a species have characteristics that will allow them to survive longer, or reproduce more. Because of this, more offspring with those same traits(as the traits would be carried in the DNA, which is passed to offspring) The peppered moths in England around the industrial revolution came in two colour. Grey and white. The white ones were able to camouflage against the trees. and therefore were less likely to be seen, and therefore eaten, by predators. As such, the white ones survived, had more offspring, and became more common than the grey ones. The industrial revolution included the discovery of burning coals for energy, the ash from all this burning clung to the trees. The trees were now grey. As such, the white moths stood out, and the grey ones were camouflaged. And the roles were reversed, more grey moths survived, had more offspring, passed on the grey trait.
Is an English peppered moth dangerous?

When can change of color be a physical change?
When an animal or species adopts to their suroundings. example, a species of white moths live in a community, very bountiful. Then some trees of a nearby forest get cut down leaving some birds homeless. so they go to the town with all the moths, the moths stick out so the are rapidly eaten. so they slowly change color, then they get darker and they become harder to see.
What caused the mutant dark moth to become the dominant color of the peppered moth species?
I presume you are referring to the 'peppered moth' used as an example of modern natural selection in practice. Well while the peppered moth is mainly light colored, it is noted that from time to time a dark individual is to be found purely as a result of random variation. The important thing to appreciate is that in the English midlands where pollution had made all the tree bark dark, these dark individuals survived and bread because birds could not see them against the dark bark. Thus over time the peppered moth population in the English midlands was made mainly of dark colored individuals. ----------------------------------- or Because of the industrial revolution the trees turned dark and since the light-colored moths rest there they adapted to the environment so when they had baby moths the had a mutation in their DNA and became dark.
