a huge, green juicy lizard would eat a peppered moth.. well with my research it is. the lizard is called the green spider as it is sly and cruel. It trap's it in its tongue and swallows it in a gulp.
in trees is where the peppered moth lives.

Young peppered moth larvae avoid predators primarily through camouflage. They often blend in with the bark of trees or the leaves they inhabit, making it difficult for birds and other predators to spot them. Additionally, their coloration can vary depending on their environment, allowing them to adapt to different backgrounds for better concealment. This effective use of camouflage is crucial for their survival during the vulnerable larval stage.

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.
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 melanic form of the peppered moth is darker in coloration compared to the typical light-colored form. This dark coloration is a result of a genetic mutation that causes an increase in the production of melanin pigments in the moth's wings. The melanic form of the peppered moth became more prevalent in polluted areas during the industrial revolution due to its increased camouflage on darkened tree trunks.
