Mothim is based on an adult {{wp|bagworm moth}}, which only fully matures if it is male. However, the shape of its wings more closely resemble those of {{wp|Coleophoridae|casebearer moths}}, whose larvae behave similarly to bagworms. Some species have metallic orange and gold scales, which may explain Mothim's wing colors. | Mothim is based on an adult {{wp|bagworm moth}}, which only fully matures if it is male.
