The Alderaan furry moth was a large-winged flying insect native to the planet Alderaan that nested amid bushy flowers. The larvae of the Alderaan furry moth were armored caterpillars more than a meter long that burrowed under the ground and fed on swollen tubers. The caterpillars lived for a dozen years before sealing themselves in cocoons and emerging transformed. They became extinct when Alderaan was destroyed in 0 BBY. In some cases, Alderaan furry moths grew to be over seven meters long.
