Frosmoth seems to be based on members of the ''{{wp|Gynaephora}}'' genus of alpine or Arctic moths. One particular species, the {{wp|Gynaephora groenlandica|arctic woolly bear moth}}, can enter a dormant state that allows it to endure temperatures as low as −94 °F (−70 °C). | Frosmoth seems to be based on members of the ''{{wp|Gynaephora}}'' genus of alpine or Arctic moths.

Considering its large size, green-hued {{Shiny}} palette, and how it evolves at night, it may also be inspired by the ''{{wp|Actias}}'' genus of {{wp|Saturniinae|giant silk moths}}, also known as moon moths or luna moths. This may be further supported by the fact that its wings have elongated tails and resemble translucent white {{wp|silk}} fabric. Frosmoth may also draw some inspiration from fluffy {{wp|flannel moth}}s, some of which are white. | Considering its large size, green-hued {{Shiny}} palette, and how it evolves at night, it may also be inspired by the ''{{wp|Actias}}'' genus of {{wp|Saturniinae|giant silk moths}}, also known as moon moths or luna moths.
