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.
