It's a bit cluttered in my pockets, please try not to get squished!

The Moon Moth is a passive Mob exclusive to Don't Starve Together, introduced in the Return of Them updates. They spawn after a Lune Tree is chopped down, and behave much like Butterflies.

Upon death they drop one Moon Moth Wings. They can also be caught with a Bug Net and then planted to produce a Lune Tree sapling, and are the only method of replanting Lune Trees. When flying, they emit enough light to prevent Charlie from attacking.

Unlike Butterflies, Moon Moths will starve outside of the inventory after approximately 4 minutes. Moon Moth inside the player's inventory will starve in 2 days unless fed. They can be fed with any Vegetable that does not decrease health. Feeding a Moon Moth in the inventory with a vegetable that decreases health will add Moon Moth Wings to the player's inventory and will yield the same results of a player selecting "Murder" on the Moon Moth.

Trivia[]

  • Moon Moths were introduced in the Turn of Tides update.
  • Is possibly based on various green species of moths in the genus Actias also known as Moon or Luna Moths.
  • Strangely, despite supposedly being a Moon Moth’s juvenile form, the Mothling is a lot bigger than the Moon Moths.
