A species of moth is seen in all areas on Aether (except for the Sanctuary Fortress) in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. They inhabit light areas. In the Great Temple, if left alone U-Mos will create a ball of light that will attract the species, and if the ball of light disappears, they will disperse. This behavior is similar to that of moths on Earth, which are attracted to sources of light. They are also attracted to the light generated by Samus' Morph Ball form, and will follow her around.
Another moth-like species, the Lumite, is found in the game. The main sentient race of Aether, the Luminoth, are also moth-like. The Light Insects on ZDR congregate around light sources similarly to moths, but are unlikely to be related to the Luminoth or any native species of Aether.
