@imaniwalker These dark peppered moths were part of an Industrial Revolution. During this time they underwent a process called evolution. When this happened they changed to better protect themselves from predators and improve themselves overall. One of these changes was a change in color as the color of the peppered moths were originally white but the peppered moths in the area had their color changed into a dark black. This helped them camoflauge in the smoke during the Industrial Evolution
