It's common to think that there's no difference between Moths and
Giant Moths , but in fact there are a number of differences in their  
natural ecology and appearance. Giant Moths are the product of moths  
that were used in experiments in the Umbrella laboratories. They escaped  
and grew to huge proportions due to the T-Virus. For some reason, Giant  
Moths' wings haven't grown in proportion with the rest of their bodies, so  
they can only fly a few feet from the ground.

It's thought that before the Giant Moths reached their current size, they  
had spread the effects of the T-Virus through a few different generations.  
This has led to an increase in both the amount of phosphorous powder they  
produce and its toxicity. Their larvae are referred to as Baby Moths, and even
in their infantile state, they possess a considerable amount of attack power.
When they sense a human nearby, they drop down from the ceiling and then
spray sticky, hard-to-escape mucous from their mouths to cover their prey.

Moths, on the other hand, were originally kept in Umbrella's Antarctic facility as  
another kind of guinea pig. Like the Giant Moths, they grew to their current size  
after becoming infected with the T-Virus. Their phosphorous powder also contains  
a high level of toxicity, but unlike the Giant Moths, their wings have grown in perfect  
proportion to the rest of their bodies. This allows Moths to bob and weave around a
target at will, before attacking by spreading their poisonous powder around the victim's  
body. Also, their larvae grow as parasites from living organisms, so  
they're constantly searching the perimeter of their nests to find  
suitable hosts for their eggs.

Moths attack by spreading large amounts of poison  
powder throughout the air, which is fatal to any human  
prey who inhale it. Also, they go after their prey
aggressively in an attempt to lay their eggs. (RE 2, RE CV)

== Giant Moth ==

The Giant Moth's most notable characteristics are its  
unnaturally imbalanced wings and its large, pulsating abdomen.  
Because they can't fly very far off the ground, they're always  
dragging their enormous bellies around.

Giant Moth larvae. Their bodies are only 30 centimeters  
or so, and their life force is rather weak. However, because so  
many of them are incubated within their nests, the numbers  
with which they attack their prey are nothing to sneeze at.  
They're attracted to warm-blooded organisms.
