Peppered Moth-28

There are three forms of this moth. The most common is white peppered with black. This is found in more rural areas. Then there is this form which is black peppered with white. The third form is virtually completely black. The blacker forms are more common in urban environments. This is believed to be due to the white form being more susceptible to predation in urban areas. Natural selection in action !
