They might get separated from the rest of the group. If they are newborns, they won't know where to go. Then they won't get to their group migration place and they could starve if they don't find the nutrition they need.

An experiment is performed with peppered moths. The table below shows the populations of light-colored moths and dark-colored moths before and after the trees turned black. Which best describes the re?
The dark colored moths were more fit.
Why did the number of peppered moths increase after the 1850s?
The industrialization in England of factories caused the trees to turn darker due to the ash and soot coming from the factories. When the trees were done evolving into dark colored trees the dark peppered moths were difficult to see for the birds went after the ones which were easier to see, which were the light peppered moths.

Why are they called peppered moths?
Peppered moths are a certain species of moth that inhabited trees. when the industrial revolution came, it made a lot of the trees black. the moths had to keep themselves hidden from birds, so some of the moths turned a black/brown color. It almost looks like they have pepper on them. Most of the moths just migrated to a different location, keeping their light original color.

Darwin's natural selection worksheet?
You are a bird hunting moths (both dark and light) that live on trees. As you capture the moths most easily visible against the tree surface.
Can you think of any real-life examples of the woolybooger where one species has a definite advantage over?
Dark peppered moths in England have definite advantage over light peppered moths because they have the ability to blend in with the dark sooty trees affected by pollution. The light peppered moths are at a disadvantage because they stand out to predators (birds).
Do butterflies and moths pollinate trees?
have no clue
What does moths live in?
They might live in trees or tree holes. Kinda like a tree house. Hehe!
Can you think of an experiment to test the hypothesis that being light or dark makes a difference in the survival rates of peppered moths?
I remember years ago reading up about industrialisation and how pollution caused many trees and whatnot to darken considerably with the smog, exposing the light peppered moths and giving the dark peppered moths a better chance of survival.
