Read the native kind description at inspection
Almost transparent wings edged with white salt scales, lilac body and six hair-thin legs, reflected imperfectly in brine. The moth rests with a full 5 cm wingspan. Scattered salt scales glow along the veins; it is not a second artificial moon and has no luminous face. Rests on the dry rim, offers a high harmonic, then leaves the waltz an extra breath. This chorus form represents one missing downbeat. Sound design: Fine glass harmonic and soft wing brush. Native use and wake write its own small state. Its soft reach marks matching answer forms with a pulse. No native audio or automatic image animation.
Named native traits at inspection: wo2-salt-moth-chorus-voice. The guide does not independently test these behaviours.
