Very good! The peppered moth larva is especially interesting. This is the species that is central to the classical demonstration of natural selection on light versus dark moths that rest on tree bark.

Nice ! I see someone else is still finding lots of cats... I stopped posting mine as it was becoming a daily thing to post a different one's image.

Don't stop. If you got 'em, flaunt 'em.

Thanks Mark. Yes, "Darwin's moth" responding to pollution levels caused by the industrial revolution.
