Torch Moth

The torch moth is a passive mob that spawns in temperate overworld biomes on hard mode, or the deep woods biome on any difficulty setting (except for peaceful). Torch moths are passive mobs, but their purpose is to indirectly harm the player.
Torch moths are inactive through the day, and sleep affixed to the sides of trees or underneath leaves. At night, however, torch moths seek out light sources, such as glowstone, redstone lamps, or torches. Torch moths don't consider grey mushrooms, redstone dust, or other blocks that put out a tiny amount of light as light sources.
If a torch moth finds a torch, it will flutter around it for a few seconds before extinguishing it. The unlit torch is the same as the unlit torch from the 2013 April Fools update. The torch can be re-lit with flint & steel, a flaming arrow, or a fire charge, but until then will not produce any light to ward off monster spawning.
The torch moth is brown, has three body segments (head, thorax, abdomen) along with two wings, and a large, cyclopic eye. Part of its thorax is bright orange similar to a lightning bug. It is also an arthropod, vulnerable to the bane of arthropods enchantment.
Despite being a passive mob, the torch mob will make an area unsafe for the player by making it easier for hostile mobs to spawn. As such, torch moths despawn like hostile mobs when the world is set to peaceful, and they do not spawn in high light levels.
Torch moths spawn in several varieties of mob sieges, introduced in Minecraft 1.18.
