Mothim (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

While Mothim represents the adult stage of a {{wp|bagworm moth}}, which only fully matures if it is male, both its appearance and honey-thieving tendencies suggest that it may draw more inspiration from the {{wp|Acherontia styx|lesser death's head hawkmoth}}, also known as the bee robber. Its "tail" is reminiscent of the flared abdomen of various {{wp|Sphingidae|sphingids}}, such as the {{wp|Hemaris|bee hawk-moths}}. It may also draw some inspiration from the {{wp|Pyraloidea}}, a superfamily of moths known for their nose-like palps.
