Moth - A Midsummer Night's Dream

Moth, a fae retainer in the service of Queen Titania, accompanied Nick Bottom on the eve of Theseus' and Hippolyta's wedding, alongside Peaseblossom, Cobweb, and Mustardseed. Under their mistress's orders, they faithfully served the actor.

Though often overlooked, Moth quietly attended to Bottom's needs. Among their duties were crafting candles from beeswax, feeding Bottom a variety of foods including apricots, grapes, figs, mulberries, and blackberries, and using discarded butterfly wings to shield Bottom's eyes from moonlight, allowing him to sleep undisturbed.
