natural selection for example is a peppered moth.
The English Peppered Moth is a result of natural selection, not random genetic drift. This moth evolved because of the light colors of lichens on trees in their habitats.

The change of common color from light to dark in the peppered moth was an example of natural selection, where darker moths had better camouflage in polluted environments, leading to increased survival and reproduction, and ultimately a shift in the moth population towards darker individuals.
natural selection!
a great example is the peppered moth. look up the full story in wikipedia
The darkening of the population of the peppered moth in Europe over a relatively short time demonstrated natural selection in action. The change in moth coloration was a response to industrial pollution, where darker moths had a survival advantage in a polluted environment as they were better camouflaged from predators. This phenomenon provided a clear example of adaptation and evolution in response to changing environmental conditions.
Peppered moths have not been "created" in the traditional sense. They are a species of moth that has evolved over time through natural selection and adaptation. Their coloration played a role in the famous example of industrial melanism during the Industrial Revolution in England.
The Peppered moth avoids predation by using camouflage to blend int to tree bark. It was originally white with black spots. However in the industrial revolution when the local trees were blacked by soot from the factory chimneys, a black variant with white spots became prevalent in these regions. In the areas of pollution the black version blended in and the white stood out so natural selection changed the appearance of the population in these areas.
