What caused the peppered moth population in England to change their color? This change was caused to happen by natural selection. The factories during the time when the peppered moths were discovered, produced a lot of smoke and they were spread onto the peppered moths which caused them to be black with small spots. The Peppered moths were first like tan color and had small black spots, but because of the factories pollution, this caused them to turn black.
Once they reproduced, the traits would be passed onto the offspring and they would come out black too. I think peppered moths in the future will be the same color. There are some tan colored peppered moths, but there are more dark ones, and because of their color they are able to blend into the night, when they come out at night. That would make them survive, because the moths only come out at night.
