'''Moths''' are only appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]'', in which they are the most difficult foes. Described as mercenary contractors employed by the [[Buzzbee]] hive dislodged by [[Donkey Kong]], they move in random patterns, swooping down on [[Stanley]] or taking his vegetables. They can easily distract him from his task of defeating Donkey Kong.
