You will have to go hunting at night to find at least one giant moth! Northern Hemisphere players will find them from April to September, and Southern Hemisphere players from October to March.
Unfortunately, there is little you can do to lure the insect. The only place you will find them is in tree trunks. They are very visible even from afar, due to their large size. When you find a butterfly, make sure you don't have a net and hold the "A" button. This will put you into creep mode, which basically means you'll have a net ready and move slowly. Make your way to the moth, and then release the "A" button to start a more agile move.
If you are looking for your moth on the island to collect or sell, just make sure there are plenty of trees around so the moth can spawn freely. Traveling to a mysterious island can help you, because there, obviously, moth eggs are much denser. Remove any insects you find from the area to increase the chance of a peacock eye!
