Well, one thing that might get these moths are birds and the ability of these birds to see the moths.

What is going to select for these moths?

So you can imagine what happens if the birds start catching these guys before they can reproduce or may be while they are reproducing what's going to happen

Your surroundings became black and you wait for a couple of generations of these moths and all of a sudden the moths are black and you say

Sami studied butterflies.

Butterflies of this species are now extinct.

I also remember drawing butterflies, clouds, and flowers.

You do know a lot about butterflies.

They were the prettiest, and they were called Las Mariposas, The Butterflies.

Was there any design or was there any active change by any of the moths?

They're butterfly specimens who have a natural camouflage.

Now, here is Butterflies' Play of Edo magic.

I saw blue butterflies down by the crick this morning.

A couple of peppered moths there. Let me draw one more.

The birdsl

The birds!

In adult butterflies, the first pair of legs are small or reduced, giving the family the other names of four footed or brush footed butterflies.

These guys just reproduced more and more and more and these guys got eaten up before they were able to reproduce or may while they were reproducing so that they couldn't produce as many offspring and then this trait became dominant. and then the peppered moth became you can kind of view it as a black moth.

And the point I was making there is that, look, that wasn't engineered or an explicit move on the part of the moths or the DNA, that was just a natural byproduct of them having some variation, and some of that variation was selected for.

You had a lot of variation in your peppered moth population and what happened was that when everything turned darker and darker, these dudes right here, and dudettes, had a lot less success in reproducing.

Against birds!

The bird war ?

You know, birds.

Some species are cultivated in gardens for their aesthetic value and to attract butterflies.

Gulls are scavengers, anyway. Most birds are.

But then once everything became soot filled, all of a sudden, the dark moths were less likely to be caught by predators and so all of the white moths were less likely to be able to reproduce successfully, so the black moth trait, or that variant, dominated.

The most common color produced in this fashion is blue, such as in the Morpho butterflies.

leafing through a book and butterflies, imagine such displacement, such loss?

Some men collect butterflies, some stamps. My hobby's always been sporting events.

He would analyze flight patterns and direction, bird calls, and general bird activities, and then use these signs to interpret the will of the gods.
