Although many people have heard about industrial melanism in the British peppered moth, it is not widely appreciated that dark forms increased in over 100 other species of moths during the period of industrial pollution. This raises the question of whether they relied on the same or similar genetic mechanism to achieve this colour change. This was not a foregone conclusion because melanism in insects may be influenced by many different genes.

As you can see, it’s not just the famous peppered moth. The color change in peppered moths and other moth species is undeniably an engineered (designed) feature. Clearly, moth species can adjust their wing color to match the surface they rest on. Alternatively, one could believe in miracles, as Darwinists do, and assume that one hundred moth species independently developed the right random mutations at roughly the same time. The peppered moth’s color change has nothing to do with natural selection, random mutations, or any other aspect of Darwinian evolutionary theory.
And there is more, get this:
The ability of larvae of the peppered moth has surprised scientists.
A new study has shown that the caterpillars of the peppered moth are able to slowly change color to match the twig they sit on, a phenomenon known as phenotypic plasticity.Previous work showed that the larvae could change color to match two colored backgrounds, but the recently published study from the University of Liverpool has shown that they can actually select colors from a continuous scale of shades and brightness.
“Originally it was thought that they could only switch between brown and green,” says Amy Eacock, a PhD student at the University of Liverpool, and lead author of the paper.“After presenting the larvae with a range of artificial twigs of different colors also varying in brightness, we found that they can match colors in between green and brown, as well as black and white”.

Yeah, scientists surprised (again) …
For 150 years, Darwinists have misrepresented reality. Among other things, they’ve invented fancy terms like “phenotypic plasticity.” When a peppered moth’s larvae changes its color—it is called “phenotypic plasticity.” In contrast, when an adult peppered moth changes its color—it is called Darwinian evolution.
Clearly, the color change in a moth’s wings is an engineered feature, regardless of what Darwinists call it—it remains a misrepresentation of reality. I bet if researchers conducted an experiment with an adult peppered moth, they would obtain the same results as with the larvae. The adult peppered moth would change its color to match the surface it rests on—every time—because it was engineered to adjust its camouflage.
