Before the industrial revolution in manchester area the moths with light coloured wings were found more in that area as compared to the moths with dark coloured wings. Bcoz the light coloured moths were concealed while resting on tree trunks. But the dark moths were eaten up by birds.

But...after the industrial revolution, the pollution in this area caused the deaths of lichens and darkening of tree trunks with soot.Now the dark variety was hidden in this area and was not easily picked up by birds.This is an example of industrial melanism.
