Moth Hunt!
You are a hungry bird ๐ฆ on a dark, windy mountain โฐ๏ธ. The moths are moving and hiding! Catch at least 5 each level to climb higher โ and watch the moth family evolve!
๐ฏ How to Play
Catch 5+
Tap moths before time runs out. Catch at least 5 to pass the level.
5 Levels
Each level: less time, faster wind, and fewer, tinier moths!
Watch Evolution
Missed moths survive & have babies. See genes pass on!
Gene
A tiny instruction passed from parent to baby โ the recipe for colour.
Phenotype
The colour you can SEE (black or white wings).
Natural Selection
Hidden moths survive & have babies, so their colour becomes common.
๐งฌ Generation Time!
1๏ธโฃ The survivors (the moths you missed!)
Every survivor carries a colour gene ๐งฌ inside it โ a "dark" gene or a "light" gene.
2๏ธโฃ They have babies โ genes are inherited!
Each baby inherits its parent's colour gene ๐งฌ. Dark parent โ dark baby. Light parent โ light baby. Sometimes a gene changes a little โ a mutation โจ โ making a different-colour baby!
3๏ธโฃ Natural selection changes the family
So close!
The moths are quick, tiny and camouflaged. Have another go!
Evolution Master!
You climbed the whole dark mountain and watched the moth family change!
๐งฌ Genes for colour are inherited from parents. ๐จ The colour you see is the phenotype. ๐ฆ Because the dark mountain hides dark moths better, more of them survived and had babies โ so generation after generation the family got darker. That's evolution by natural selection! ๐โจ
