The ringed moon shadowmoths, usually called simply shadowmoths, were a species of insects native to Coruscant. They were silicon-based lifeforms, and had tough cocoons. When they first broke from their cocoons, each young shadowmoth's struggles 'activated' their wings, upon which were wingflutes that created songs while flying.^[1]

They were a common element in the diet of hawk-bats, who fed upon their larvae.^[1]

They may have been semi-sentient; Vergere claimed to have sensed envy from a crippled shadowmoth listening to its companions' songs.^[1]
