Moon Moth
this was a series of espionage droid designed by Arakyd Industries, and manufactured on Mechis III during the early years of the New Republic. Employing many of the technological and miniaturization advances of the Scarab Droid, the Moon Moth was almost indistinguishable from an organic moon moth. However, to a keen observer, the droid version had wings made of finely-machined metals painted to resemble a true moth. The abdomen of the droid was packed with enough explosives to destroy the Moon Moth, in case it was captured. This was a very small amount, though, since the Moon Moth was also very lightweight. It could mimic the flight patterns of an organic moth, and would land on its target and place a microdot homing beacon on it.
