They were not glued to trees to get specific results, you liar.

Then, why were they glued to trees?

" Then, why were they glued to trees?"

In ONE picture out of dozens, two moths were glued side by side on a tree to show the difference in the coloration between the dark and the light type and to insure a good picture. That's it. ALL the rest of the moths were pictured as they were found in the field. There was no fraud done in those multiple studies.

In nature photography, it is a very common practice to pin insects down. They are too difficult to keep still for the type of pictures that you would usually want in a magazine. The type taken for the study were not done that way, except for the one of both moths; this picture had no scientific value outside of showing the color variation.

Creationists need to do a little research before making the same old mistakes over and over.

To fully illustrate the colour contrast. Insects in the wild don't always rest in the best poses.

If it was fraud, what was the purpose of the fraud? What false claim(s) was the gluing of the moths attempting to spread

As you have already been told a hundred times, for the pictures, you Creatard.
