>Also some genes are known to actually "jump" between species.
Simple microscopic organisms, sure. Viruses, maybe. There's no evidence it's ever happened in something as large as a moth larva.
Even if these genes somehow (let's say a nice Sci-Fi virus) caused these genes to "jump" species... a gene that limits whether female larvae of these moths survive is unlikely to affect whether e.g. bats grow to adulthood or mate.
In fact, genes jumping from e.g. a moth larvae to another species (like humans) is rather rare... you haven't seen much on the evening news about humans suddenly developing moth wings, have you? Why do you think that is so?
