The Peppered Moth is widespread in Britain and Ireland and frequently found in ordinary back gardens, yet its amazing story has made it famous all over the world. It is one of the best known examples of evolution by natural selection, Darwin's great discovery, and is often referred to as 'Darwin's moth'.

hope it helps!

The peppered moth is a temperate species of night-flying moth. Peppered moth evolution is an example of population genetics and natural selection.
