Moth

A moth was a winged insect found on several planets, including Earth.

Doctor Phlox fed moth larvae to his Pyrithian bat. In 2153, he offered some of the larvae to Malcolm Reed. (ENT: "Extinction")

Moths were sometimes known to fly towards a flame, driven by instinct and sometimes killing them.

Two-dimensional creatures encountered by the USS Enterprise-D were blindly drawn towards a cosmic string in 2367, leading Counselor Deanna Troi to liken the situation to a moth's attraction to flame. (TNG: "The Loss")
