Moth
"Moth" (モス Mosu) is a series of EARTH Insect monsters used by Weevil Underwood in the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga and anime.
The series revolves around Special Summoning a Moth monster from the hand by Tributing "Petit Moth" after a certain number of the player's turns it is equipped with "Cocoon of Evolution".
In Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses, the Moths can also be Summoned by evolving "Kattapillar", "Acid Crawler", "Needle Worm" and "Larvae Moth" with "Cocoon of Evolution". Two additional stages are also added; "Larva of Moth" and "Pupa of Moth".
Playing style
Building a good "Moth" Deck can be challenging, but if you can make it work, it's rewarding, by using "Cocoon of Ultra Evolution" to summon either "Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth" or "Metamorphosed Insect Queen".

Summoning and weakness
Only 1 "Moth" monster can be Normal Summoned, "Petit Moth". The other "Moth" monsters can only be Special Summoned by Tributing "Petit Moth" some turns after "Petit Moth" has been equipped with "Cocoon of Evolution".
This is a difficult process, as the opponent is given plenty of time to destroy "Petit Moth", before a strong evolution can be Summoned and protecting it is considered difficult and wasteful of cards. It is also difficult to get "Petit Moth" into face-up Defense Position before equipping it with "Cocoon of Evolution", while playing it in Attack Position will result in it having 0 ATK.
