moth's

Nocturnal flier's possession

Moth's is the possessive form of moth, indicating something belonging to or associated with the nocturnal insect.

A moth's wings are often dusty and patterned for camouflage.

The moth's attraction to the flame proved fatal.

Also used for the contraction "moth is" or "moth has," though this is rare.
