The moon moth espionage droid represented a specific model of spycam engineered by Arakyd Industries.
This particular droid was incredibly difficult to distinguish from an actual moon moth, which are a prevalent nuisance across numerous planets. Its operational range extended to 10,000 meters. Its value as an espionage tool stemmed from its inconspicuous nature, frequently being disregarded as a mere insect. These droids were programmed to respond to only fundamental instructions, inclusive of a self-destruction command. Furthermore, they possessed the ability to leave behind "eggs" on intended targets, which in reality were tracking devices.
Den Dhur employed this device to eavesdrop on a discussion between Filba the Hutt and Admiral Tarnese Bleyd. To control the moon moth, he utilized a headset integrated with a display screen and a portable control device. He observed the demise of Filba the Hutt through the droid's perspective from a distance. As the artificial moth passed by, Admiral Tarnese Bleyd caught it. He proceeded to crush the device in his grip.
During the Darksaber incident, Crix Madine utilized a moon moth droid to follow Durga Besadii Tai to the Hoth asteroid field.
