Do you think any of the color mutations in the beetles helped them survive in the environment? Explain your answer.

As you can see from the chart, apparently the lighter the color of the beetle, the less likely it is to survive. Mutant 1 only lasted for what I'm assuming one generation, while the non-mutated beetle and mutant 2 lasted longer. However mutant 2 was able to bring about more offspring than its non-mutated counterpart, suggesting that they have a better survival rate.

One reason I can think of for this, is the fact that their darker color, might serve as a warning to predators, that they could be potentially poisonous and not to mess with them.
