Moth

The Moth is a nocturnal insect, that can be found on cloudy nights. Players seem to detest them even more than cockroaches. Moths are usually found by bright lights, but can be chased well away from lights where they will disappear into the sky.

In Wild World
After donation, the moth can be found on or flying around one of the two lamps on the north wall of the first room of the insect area.

In City Folk
"Many people hate moths, yet love butterflies, but the truth is that both belong to the order Lepidoptera. Since both are covered in unspeakable veins and foul powder, I suggest they are equally distasteful."

The moth can be found in the upper-left hand corner of the insect exhibit, flying around a lamp near the bagworm. In the day time it simply sits on the lamp.

Further Information
Moths are a diverse group of insects in the order Lepidoptera, the same order as butterflies. The order is split into butterflies and moths, but the distinction is not taxonomically evident from this point on (though the difference between butterfly and moth is obvious).

Scales on moth's wings rub off when touched, but contrary to popular belief this does not kill the moth; the scales are simply colouring.
