- js8 7y agoMaybe it is happening, but at much slower pace than the evolution in insects, which have a new generation every couple weeks. GP has a good point, insect can evolve very quickly. And it is probably much easier evolutionary to adapt to light pollution (it's a software change, after all) than to insecticide (which affects cell chemistry) or complete change in habitat due to its destruction or climate change.
