 A good example of arising mismatch is the winter moth which has a rather unusual life cycle that is highly in tuned with its environment.As an adult, it awakes in the cold hardy month of November, mates, and then crawls back up the oak tree that it was undergoing its metamorphosis in to lay eggs that will then enter a state of diapause (Visser & Holleman 2001).Those eggs will begin developing in February and continue for several months before they hit a crucial point where they will want to hatch.
