Suppose a certain species of insect lives in the lush green canopy of the rain forest. Some of the insects are bright green in color, and some are bright yellow. Assume there is a natural predator of the insect in the area. What do you expect to happen to the populations of the green and the yellow insects over time?

Over time, the green insect population in the area will increase and the yellow insect population will decrease in the given situation. This will happen because as the environment is lush green, the predator cannot see the green insects properly while they can prey on yellow insects easily. This condition can create space for green insects to live and breed properly.
