No it will not be passed on. As the question states the moths live in a green forest so the green moths have camouflage, which is a big advantage. But the orange moth doesn’t and will very easily be spotted by predators(will die very soon probably before reaching its reproductive period) thus the mutation wont be passed on.

Hope this helps:)
