HELP! Me!

Answer:

They camouflage

Explanation:

The peppered moths adapt to their surroundings. They blend in with their surroundings to avoid being eaten by their predators. Blending in with their surrounding also helps them to sneak up on and catch their prey.

I'm not too sure why they lay 100 eggs at a time but i think it's because the parents want to increase the survival of their eggs. Eggs sometimes are eaten by other animals and the parents want at least a few to survive.
