Ringed moon shadowmoth

The ringed moon shadowmoths, usually called simply shadowmoths, were a species of insects native to Coruscant. They were silicon-based lifeforms, and had tough cocoons. When they first broke from their cocoons, each young shadowmoth's struggles 'activated' their wings, upon which were wingflutes that created songs while flying.

They were a common element in the diet of hawk-bats, who fed upon their larvae.

They may have been semi-sentient; Vergere claimed to have sensed envy from a crippled shadowmoth listening to its companions' songs.
