how do they get the energy to lay new eggs? or grow into full sized moths?

Wikipedia says they eat enough as caterpillars and do not eat as adults

They get energy from drinking the tears of Dark Souls players who have to fight it as a boss

It's too bad they didn't make the Moonlight Butterflies in the Crystal Caves hostile. Imagine the player tears after having to navigate narrow invisible walkways while dodging laser spam.

They eat nonstop and get fat as caterpillars, then spend most of their energy metamorphosing, and then the rest is for fucking and sucking

So someone who loses a lot of weight and gets really, really slutty as soon as they realize they can?

I was thinking the same thing. And you got an answer too. Cheers 🥂
