Today we did an activity testing out natural selection and how changes in the environment effect the survival of certain species. How could you prevent the loss of the white peppered moths in England? Why did the green bugs survive in less pollution but then the orange ones survived when there was more orange pollution all around?

They can hide in white trees and the black one s will get eatin instead of the white one the green one survived because if you change the color to green they are only going to see the orange bug and if you change the color to orange there going to only see the green ones because of the orange blend in and the green blend in with there colors

it could be prevented if the factories would stop poloting the bird attacted them because they can see them better.

when i played the beards were going to eat the green bugs but when i changed it to the factory they went away and came for the orange bugs.so when the back ground change to a color that the bug is then the bird is going for the other bug they see.it was different backgrounds the bired could see from.

Because the orange bugs are caught easily by hiding because they are lighter than the green bugs.

bugs in the same kind of color of their skin so they don't get eaten by birds.bugs also lay eggs so the colony stays stonger and go on and on and on.the bugs that get eaten the most are the ones that the bugs lay the least the ones that get eaten are the ones that they lay more the black pepperd moth is going to be eaten the most if it hides on white lichan and if the white pepperd moth hides on black it would get eaten.and bugs camouflage are cool.by Nasir Dixon.

We could've save the white moths by not preventing so many factories and getting the moths camouflage for the bird not to see them and then they would have a bigger population for the white ones. Than the black moths. The green bugs survive because there were more greens when the pollution was less and the orange bugs survive because the pollution that they made was orange.
