B. b. betularia |
Biston betularia adalah spesies ngengat. Evolusi biston betularia sering digunakan oleh guru-guru sebagai contoh seleksi alam.
Sebelum terjadinya revolusi industri, biston betularia putih populasinya lebih banyak daripada biston betularia hitam. Setelah terjadinya revolusi industri, jumlah ngengat biston betularia putih lebih sedikit daripada ngengat biston betularia hitam karena warna putihnya yang terang membuat mangsanya bisa melihat dengan jelas.
