 ===Origin===
-Venomoth's ability to poison its enemies and its type combination suggests that it may have been based on a {{wp|moth}} in the {{wp|Arctiidae}} family. Its Japanese name may mean it may also have been influenced by the {{wp|Morphinae}} subfamily of {{wp|butterfly|butterflies}}; its wings's design seems to be heavily influenced by Morphinads.
+Venomoth seems to combine the idea of toxic {{wp|Arctiidae|tiger moths}} with the appearance of {{wp|Aristolochia#Swallowtail_butterflies|toxic swallowtail butterflies}}.
 ====Name origin====
 Venomoth is likely a combination of ''{{wp|venom}}'' and ''{{wp|moth}}''.
-Morphon may refer to the butterfly genus, ''{{wp|Morpho}}''.
+Morphon may be derived from ''{{wp|metamorphosis}}'' or the butterfly genus, ''{{wp|Morpho}}''.
