because they would get eaten in the city if they had pale wings, the camoflague of dark wings protects them. In the countryside its the opposite dark wings would make them stand out.

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!
Why has peppered moth developed dark wings in city and pale wings in countryside?
It has different flowers to eat and different diets make things different. E.g.- flamingoes are pink cos they eat a certain type of algae, vegetarian farts are smellier and breastfed babies are more likely to be very clever
Why has the peppered moth that lives in the city developed dark wings and the moth that lives in the countryside developed pale wings?
Because before the industrial revolution, the bark of the trees they lived on was light, therefore the dark ones could be easily seen and eaten by predators, causing only the lighter ones to survive. When the industrial revolution came about, the trees near factories were covered in soot and blackened by the pollution, therefore the darker moths couldn't be seen and eaten so they survived wheras the lighter moths could be seen and eaten.
