Moths in Smalland may not be the most intimidating nocturnal creatures, but they sure make the nighttime a little more enchanting—and resourceful. These fluttery cousins of Butterflies swap shifts as the sun sets, bringing with them a chance to snag some precious loot. Let’s break down the who, what, and why of the Smalland Moth, and how to make the most of your moonlit hunting trips.
The Basics: Moths 101
When the Butterflies clock out at sunset, the Smalland Moths clock in. These nighttime flyers are exclusive to the Oak Forest and only make appearances during the night. Once the sun peeks over the horizon, they vanish, leaving the daytime skies to their more colorful relatives.
Moths don’t travel in large swarms like Butterflies. You’ll usually find them solo or, if you’re lucky, paired up in a duet. Despite their smaller numbers, Moths bring an extra incentive for your effort—they drop Insect Fur in addition to the standard Insect Eggs. That bonus loot can be a game-changer for crafting and progression.
Passive Flyers with a Twist
If you’ve tangled with Butterflies before, you’ll notice that Smalland Moths are much less dramatic when things go south. Instead of fluttering away like their daytime counterparts, Moths stay eerily calm under attack. They don’t flee, making them an easy target if you’re looking to stock up on resources.
However, they’re not completely out of danger themselves. Moths are low on the food chain, so don’t be surprised if you see them being harassed by Wasps. Those pesky predators will sometimes target Moths, and while it’s sad to see, it can also create a diversion for you to swoop in and claim the spoils.
Where to Find Moths
If you’re on the hunt for these nocturnal beauties, the Oak Forest is your best bet. Once night falls, scan the skies for their soft, ghostly glow. Moths don’t roam too far, thus stick to areas where you’ve seen Butterflies during the day.
Keep an eye out for their subtle movements, as they’re not as vibrant or flashy as Butterflies. A good strategy is to clear out any Wasps in the vicinity first, this way you don’t have to worry about unwanted interference during your Moth-catching spree.
What Do Moths Drop?
Moths bring two valuable drops to the table:
- Insect Eggs: Just like Butterflies, Moths are a great source of this versatile crafting resource. Insect Eggs are essential for whipping up all kinds of food and potions, making Moths a must-hunt for resource-savvy players.
- Insect Fur: This is where Moths shine. Insect Fur is a rarer drop and incredibly useful for advanced crafting recipes. If you’re looking to stockpile materials for tougher challenges ahead, make Moths a nighttime priority.
- Bugs Lymph: This item is commonly dropped by most insects. It works as nourishment and restores health. But not only that it can also be used in food items.
Taking Down Moths: The Strategy
Moths aren’t exactly combat powerhouses. Thus big flashy weapons are not needed. Here is the breakdown of what you need to get the job done.
Simple BowThe Simple Bow is your best friend when hunting Moths. This is made with 8 fiber, 10 wood, and 4 Resin. This is perfect for the early game and does wonders during the night. Since moths are usually flying midair a few precise shots will take them down.
Wood ArrowsThese are basic arrows so they do not pack a punch. But they are easy to acquire and get the job done. Since moths do not have high health stats just two or three arrows should do the trick.
Close-Combat WeaponsIf you catch a Moth flying low to the ground, melee weapons like the Wood Sword or Grasshopper Scythe are solid options. Just be ready to land consecutive hits, as Moths can be a little slippery if you’re not quick on your feet.
