Editing Mothfolk (section)

===Larval Stage===

Having hatched from their eggs, the larvae start as blind, thin, and hungry. Their diet is very important to their development and metamorphosis. Standard diet includes leaves and bark for forest mothkin, and cactus flowers and grass for desert mothkin. However, some larvae are raised to consume certain foods or quantities that determine their growth. Larvae who eat mineral-rich dirt have more lustrous wings and are purportedly inclined towards art, while larvae who eat mulberries grow large and develop more silk than usual.
This silk is produced by all mothkin larvae, and is harvested by adult mothkin. Those raised to produce higher quantity silk are raised on mulberries, which leaves their adult forms stunted slightly and with dull wing patterns.
Female larvae instinctively eat more than their male counterparts, causing their adult forms to be larger and better-equipped for reproduction.
