← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs for luna moths when environmental pollution increases?
A)Increased predation from industrial melanism✓
B)Decreased mating through pheromone disruption
C)Enhanced crypsis from disrupted wing patterns
D)Increased survival due to warning coloration
💡 Explanation
Increased pollution darkens tree bark, impacting luna moth camouflage; increased predation occurs because their disruptive coloration fails. Industrial melanism enables birds to easily find them, therefore predation increases, rather than pheromone disruption.
