Looks

Color

Females and males are similar in size and appearance: green wings, eyespots on both forewings and hind wings, and long, sometimes somewhat twisted tails extending from the back edge of the hindwings. Bodies are white and hairy. The forward edge of the forewing is dark-colored and thick, tapering in thickness from the thorax to the wing tip. Its color can range from maroon to brown. The "eye" pattern on foreings are oval in shape, with a round "pupil" inside. The "eyes" are thought to confuse potential predators.

Size

Typically, it has a wingspan of roughly 120 mm (4.5 in), but can exceed 190 mm (7.0 in), making it one of the larger moths on the continent.

Habitat

Preferred habitat

Just like Lunar Civets, Glowing Moths live in warm climate, near bodies of water.

Migratory patterns

Glowing Moths seem to migrate in groups of 100-200 individuals between different osases and civet's territories. They travel only between midnight and 4 am. They tend to be very careful and slow to travel bigger distances, because being caught by the sun in the middle of desert is a inevitable death for whole flock.

Herding patterns

Larvae and cocoons are usually concentrated in one spot, in the middle/top parts of water grasses. Once they turn into adult moths, they tend to use Lunar Civet's back as a "landmark" and meeting spot.

Predators

Most insect eating animals; the biggest danger for them are hawks, owls, ferrets, fish and... humans, who are using cocoons to create silk and consider larvae to be a delicacy.

Prey

They feast on small other small insects and parasites living in civet's fur, sometimes they participate in consuming bigger, already dead/decaying creatures

Symbiosis

-copied from Lunar Civet's page - "Lunar Civets are mostly known for their symbiosis relationship with Glowing Luna Moths, which resulted in them both becoming the symbol of Godess of Night and Destiny.
In natural habitat, Lunar Civets spend most of their nights walking around, carrying mentioned moths on their back. While Glowing Moths are keeping civet's healthy by feasting on flees and other parasites living in their fur, what moths are getting in return is protection from predators, easier way to migrate and find each other. They are also the ones that benefit from civet's death, as they are first to devour it's flesh, getting all the sodium they need to survive.

Religious humans believe that a sight of Lunar civet (no matter if alive or dead) accompanied by Glowing Moths is a sign of holy presence and making of a good decision."
