The bug that emerges from a dark brown chrysalis found in the ground is typically the moth known as the "Luna moth" or other similar species. These moths undergo a complete metamorphosis, transforming from caterpillars to pupae in a protective chrysalis before emerging as adult moths. The dark brown color of the chrysalis often helps it blend into the soil, providing camouflage against predators.
The light moths may be more visible to predators against the dark tree bark, making them more vulnerable to predation. Over time, this could shift the moth population towards individuals with darker coloration to better blend in with their surroundings and improve their chances of survival. This concept is known as natural selection.
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).
They will adapt to the environment and become dark-colored moths.
Yes, it is very much possible. Often, the color of moths depends on the atmosphere in which it lives, hence, a dark moth in the industrial revolution. However, i dont see why it matters. there was not a certain time in which dark colored moths began to appear. Hope this helps!
Peppered moths get their name from the pepper-like speckles on their wings, which resemble the appearance of peppercorns. This pattern helps them blend in with tree bark, providing camouflage and protection against predators. The moths are commonly found in both light-colored and dark-colored forms, known as the light and dark morphs.
because the light moths go on the tree and get dark. thats why
Oh, dude, it's like those peppered moths were just chilling on their trees, right? Then, bam! Trees go black, and suddenly the dark moths are like, "Yo, this is our time to shine!" So, they start dominating the scene, and the light moths are like, "Well, I guess we'll just blend into the background now." It's survival of the fittest, man.
Answer this question… B.The dark-colored moths were more fit.
About 98% of peppered moths were dark by 1900 due to industrial pollution causing trees to darken, making dark moths more camouflaged and increasing their survival rates.
the dark-colored moths were more fit. ( apex )
birds couldn't see the dark-colored moths on the trees darkened by industry.
