Cannibalistic Moths

What is the main reason why the moths cannibalize?

• To protect eggs from predators

• They're just selfish

• To reduce competition and there's not enough resources

• All of the Above

Moths in higher _________ move much slower and therefore have access to fewer resources.

Scientific concepts explained in the presentation include:

• Life Cycle of a Moth

• Behaviors of Moths

• Evolution of Moths

• Parasitism of Moths on Other Organisms

• Competition for Nutrition and Resources

How have scientists got the moths to decrease the rate of cannibalism?

• They gave the moths more space to move around in and collect more resources.

• They lowered the viscosity of the environment of where the moths lived.

• They gave the moths more space for them to get to know one another.

• They put more food in the area so the moths have something to eat besides themselves.

Explain this image and why viscosity matters.
