    The player ate 54 moths over 60 seconds in a simulated game. The forest started with equal populations of light and dark moths, but the player ate more light moths because they were more easily visible on the dark trees. As a result, the population shifted from 50% light and 50% dark to 17% light and 83% dark moths, demonstrating how natural selection can act on moth coloration.

    moths in a dark forest. There are now 17% light moths and 83% dark moths.

    Because you could see light moths more easily, you ate more light moths than dark
    moths.
