Thamester...one of the classic evolutionary studies was done in your country. I'm relying on a 30 year old memory, but there was a species of moth in England which was white in color. As the Industrial age began to pollute certain areas with soot, etc, the moths in the dirtiest regions started becoming blacker, since the whitest ones resting on trees, etc were highly visible to predators. Moths in cleaner areas stayed white. Still the same species, able to interbreed, etc.
