Biston betularia adalah sejenis spesies ngengat, seperti kebanyakan ngengat, spesies ini merupakan hewan nokturnal. Evolusi biston betularia sering digunakan sebagai salah satu contoh genetika populasi dan seleksi alam.
Sebelum terjadinya revolusi industri, biston betularia putih populasinya lebih banyak daripada biston betularia hitam. Setelah terjadinya revolusi industri, jumlah ngengat biston betularia putih lebih sedikit daripada ngengat biston betularia hitam karena warna putihnya yang terang membuat mangsanya bisa melihat dengan jelas.
