How to catch Moon Moth

Use the Insect Net. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.

1. Equip the Insect Net and approach the creature at eye level or on the ground.
2. Most insects can be caught with a simple net swipe; slow down if the species is skittish.
3. Check tree trunks, flowers, shrubs, crops and aerial spaces — the habitat column tells you where this species spawns.

The moon moth has a pair of gorgeous trailing tails.

Research has found that this seemingly flight-affecting structure can actually interfere with bats' echolocation system, throwing off directions for pursuing bats.

In dire situations, they can also break off these beautiful trailing tails to escape, similar to geckos.
