Homebrew Mothfolk Species Details
Mothfolk are a fey-touched race of humanoids with different unique aspects resembling humanoid and human-like features, with a true and apparent and component of moth characteristics.
Moth features can often range, but they will always have wings, varying in size but usually reaching past their arm span. The wings can vary in colour and pattern from bright greens, vibrant saturated colours, all the way to simple pastels and soft grayscale. They will often have a soft fur that can appear in patches, completely covering or nowhere at all. The fur is most commonly on their arms, wings or head. Additionally, they'll commonly have large bulbous Insectoid eyes of a moth as well as soft feather-like antennae that extend from the forehead. Lastly, Mothfolk will always have an extra set of arms, for a total of 4. Their extra pair is fairly weak but effectively can do simpler tasks. Otherwise, most of the human-like parts in Mothfolk will match the patterns of their moth features. For example, Bright green wings and fur will result in hair that is green. Larger wings tend to lead to the Mothfolk being taller.

Because of their Moth-like features, Mothfolk don't need as much sleep as a regular Humanoid, needing only 4 hours of sleep to gain the same benefits as a Human sleeping for 8 hours.
Fixation to Light.
Due to their innate magical abilities, and natural fixation to light, a Mothfolk is able to cast the Light spell at will, and without material components.
Free-Mind
These creatures have little known to the origin. Some consider they may have possibly been simple moths some time ago who had found their way into the Fey-wild who were eventually warped by the whimsical magic of the land. Some think it may have been the other way around and a fey-cursed human being another possibility. Regardless of their history, this fey-infused humanoid race very much takes after both of their predecessors, the fey & the moth. Mothfolk are Free-minded. Ambitions and convictions are not something they idealize as much as they do empathy and an open mind or heart and a willingness to take on the new. A long term for them is a fairly rare encounter, and if one does, it is often out of curiosity or whim. A simple distraction could lead to a simple change of plans or a whole new adventure when it involves one of these winged insect people.
