This species has two different adult forms.

Or the species could have altered behavior, or even change over time to adapt to the new surroundings. It could adapt to these changes in a number of ways. The individuals could move (to try to find trees that match its color). So, what would happen if the trees began changing, and the peppered moths were no longer able to blend in? This means its coloration should match with the trees on which it perches. Like many insects, the peppered moth can benefit from blending into its environment. The caterpillar of the peppered moth can blend in on some trees, looking like a twig.
