How do young peppered moth larvae avoid predators?

Young peppered moth larvae avoid predators primarily through camouflage. They often blend in with the bark of trees or the leaves they inhabit, making it difficult for birds and other predators to spot them. Additionally, their coloration can vary depending on their environment, allowing them to adapt to different backgrounds for better concealment. This effective use of camouflage is crucial for their survival during the vulnerable larval stage.
