Gloomwing moths are short-lived, solitary hunters. They use a variety of pheromones to ward off rivals and to find mates. They form groups, but only to attack large prey, and then only when drawn to the fray by the combat pheromone. Gloomwings normally swoop to the attack and creatures viewing the moth are hypnotized or dazed by its markings. It is nocturnal and normally hides in the dark camouflaged by its markings. There young are Tenebrous Worms, giant poisonous caterpillars. Instinct: to lay eggs in bodies
