Moth
A moth — drawn to flame, eating quietly at cloth — often touches small worries that rush you into unsatisfactory contracts, or someone slandering and robbing you. The dream may ask what tiny, persistent damage is being done to what you own, and whether haste born of small anxieties is leading you into a bad bargain.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for moth, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see a moth in a dream, small worries will lash you into hurried contracts, which will prove unsatisfactory. Quarrels of a domestic nature are prognosticated.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of moth is a sign some one is robbing you, it also predicts slander by a supposed friend. To dream you see a moth burn its wings in a flame signifies that an enemy will die.
