26. Spotted brown-and-white butterflies blend into lichen-covered tree bark, making it difficult for predators

to see them, while solid brown and solid white butterflies are easier to see and get eaten.

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know what the question is, but the spotted butterflies will reproduce more spotted butterflies and the solid coloured butterflies will not live, therefore not reproducing any solid coloured butterflies. This means the population of spotted butterflies will increase, but the population of solid coloured butterflies will decrease.
