Answer:

No, because according to one of the article I found online, that said camouflage of the light moth no longer worked in the dark forest. But the dark moths live longer in a dark forest, so they had more time to breed.

No, the camouflage of a light moth no longer works in a dark forest. They only change due to genetics.
