Luna Moth Wing is an ingredient in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It can be used to make potions at an alchemy lab as part of alchemy.
Background[]
- "As with the dragonflies, I was taken aback by the number of butterflies, moths, and other insects that manage to thrive in Skyrim. The Luna moth is especially beautiful; its thin, almost ephemeral wings seem too delicate to hoist anything into the air, giving them an almost magical appearance. Indeed, that sense extends to the properties they exhibit when crushed and distilled (an action I admit was difficult to perform at first, no matter my resolve to discover all that Skyrim has to offer. These creatures are simply that beautiful!) While they can be used for creating poisons that damage magicka, I feel that would be a waste of their potential. Do not be alarmed if, when the wings are broken down almost completely, they appear to almost disappear under your mortar. That very quality makes the wings quite effective in potions of invisibility!"

Locations[]
Luna Moths are nocturnal creatures, and only appear at nighttime intervals between 8 PM and 11 PM. They can be found along roadsides, often near trees or rocks, and can be hard to detect when they land. Groups of three insects spawn, each a random assortment of Luna Moths and the easier-to-spot torchbugs. If collected these groups often respawn fairly quickly once the Dragonborn moves away collecting other groups. Luna moths can commonly be found:
- East of Whiterun, along the road
- North of Whiterun, in the fields around Whitewatch Tower
- Outside Shadowgreen Cavern, northwest of Solitude
- Outside Autumnshade Clearing, northwest of Riften
- At a camp site halfway between the Blue Palace and the Abandoned Shack to the southeast
- North of Talking Stone Camp, along the river
- Northeast of Morthal, towards Movarth's Lair, near piles of rocks
