The red beetles would be subsequently outnumbered by the green beetles
- The green colour would help the beetles camouflage and protect themselves from predators. This is an evolutionary adaptation
- On the other hand,the red beetles are at a disadvantage and can be easily predated
- As survival traits are always passed down successive generations,the gene which causes the green colour would more prevail in the gene pool
