The reason for the loss of color after the industrial revolution is that the light-colored moths were "selected against" by predators. These birds could only see the light ones against the newly dark, sooted background. Over time, these predators could no longer distinguish the dark ones from their natural dark, sooted background. Thus more light-colored moths stood out against the dark soot, and were eaten. And more dark-colored moths eluded the birds, survived to reproduce, passing on more of their dominant genes for dark color to their offspring. After several decades of hundreds of thousands of generations, most of the later generations were dark, due to selective advantage of camouflage to survive predation.

Pest in food establishment can cause foodborne illness because
Masja [62]
Pests in food establishments are usually very good vectors of many types of diseases, not just food borne illnesses (rats for example used to carry the fleas that carry the bubonic plague). Pests are very good at contaminating foods, as they will not only contact food in storage, but they will eat (so contact with saliva), lay eggs or have their young around, and will defecate and urinate. This means that it is highly likely to cause some food borne or other illness.
