The moth[nb 1] is a bug in the Animal Crossing series. The moth first appeared in Animal Crossing: Wild World and has appeared in all subsequent games. Moths are also mentioned by Blathers in Animal Crossing when a player donates a butterfly to the museum, although actual moths do not appear in that game.

In the games that the moth appears in, it is an uncommon bug that the player can encounter, and can be found flying around outside lights during the night. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it can be caught all year.

Donating to the museum[edit]

In Wild World[edit]

"There are many who think that butterflies are cute while moths are repulsive... In this owl's opinion, they are both equally grotesque! Blech, I say! I suppose such revulsion is mine and mine alone, however.."

In City Folk[edit]

"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 New Leaf[edit]

Upon being donated, the moth can be found in the room of the bug exhibit with the light in, flying around the light. The exhibit has this to say about the moth:

"Moths are related to butterflies, but they're most often active at night instead of day. They use their large antennae to sense, smell, and guide themselves in the dark. Interestingly, the number of moth species is estimated at 160,000, so "moth" is a fairly broad descriptor."

In New Horizons[edit]

"Many think the moth is strictly a nocturnal creature. Alas, no! These frightful fluttering beasts have been known to haunt the daylight and twilight hours too. Thus, there is no time of day one might escape the moth trait I dislike most of all—those feathery antennae! The mere thought of them gives my feathers goosebumps. And I'm no goose."

It can be found at the leftmost point of the bug hall.
