The browntail moth was accidently introduced into Somerville, Massachusetts from Europe in 1897. By 1913, the insect had spread to all of the New England states and New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
Their colors tracked our history. The story of the peppered moth still leaves us to wonder about the evolution of color in the natural world, beyond the dark Satanic mills. Thousands of miles away from Englandâs peppered moths, a species of walking stick insects called Timema cristinae lives in the hills of southern California. A new study shows that they feel the pressure of evolution on their color, too.
