D. Gray colored Speckled moth
In an ash and soot-covered habitat, the gray-colored Speckled moth would likely have better camouflage compared to brightly colored insects like the red dragonfly, green grasshopper, or brightly colored butterfly. The gray coloration of the Speckled moth may provide better concealment in the altered environment resulting from a wildfire. This is an example of natural selection, where organisms with traits that provide better survival advantages in their specific environment are more likely to reproduce and pass on those traits to the next generation.
