As soot and smoke started to stain the buildings and trees black the lighter members of the species were easy target for their predators and thus the darker and blacker moths survived. I actually read this aloud to my husband on a road trip, and because it is a podcast, it lends itself well to the read-aloud. A theme of compare and contrast could be represented by the two moths as well, showing the differences and how nature can be unpredictable, especially when humans are added to the equation. As this was the case with the newspaper piece on white paper and the white paper pieces on the newspaper.This adaptation has always worked until buildings begin to go up and their surroundings begin to change.

T loved the pictures and said he enjoyed the story, but he didn't understand how evolution worked after our initial read. Egremont Primary School had a creative idea for creating Moth artwork by recycling pencil sharpenings – I love it!

If you have access to a garden or open space, why not build a light trap and see which insects come to visit? The New British moth enthusiast's 'bible' - over 1600 high quality illustrations of more than 880 of the larger (macrolepidoptera) species.However, this is as much a story of the riving of naivety as it is about the loss of innocence, and partition’s agonies go abruptly from being a political tragedy, discussed over supper, to a source of intense personal anguish.

For a longer look at natural selection and the story behind Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace’s theory, I have written a book especially for KS2 readers, published by Oxford University Press – The Misadventures of Charles Darwin.

Edited by The Moth’s artistic directorCatherine Burnsand featuring a foreword byNeil Gaiman, ALL THESE WONDERSis a spellbinding celebration of twenty years of Moth storytellers who have stepped up to the microphone and bared their souls to a crowd of strangers. The book itself is, by the standards of this year’s Desmond Elliott’s Prize pretty conventional – one that gains its strength from both the harrowing portrayal it gives of the period of history it portrays (India at the time of partition in 1947-8) and the memorable cast of characters in the Delhi household which lives through the trauma of that time, rather than so much from the relatively conventional if atmospheric writing. These moths learn how to adapt and flourish in this new land as the Industrial Revolution is booming. Alma herself is somewhat obsessed with the world of Djinn’s and gods and of legends and transfers some of this to imagined visions of her promised husband.
