| − | The name "Mothra" is the suffixion of "-ra" (a common last syllable in kaiju names) to "moth". Since the Japanese language does not have dental fricatives, it is approximated "Mosura" in Japanese.

||
| − | Since her first film, Mothra has been depicted in various stages of the lepidopteran life cycle: Mothra's mammoth egg is decoratively colored in blue and yellow waves. The egg hatches into her larva, a massive brown, segmented caterpillar (resembling a silkworm) with glowing blue, sometimes red, eyes. In rare circumstances, twins may emerge from the egg. The caterpillar eventually spins a silken cocoon around itself (the pupa stage), and from this cocoon the imago (adult) Mothra emerges, a gigantic moth-like creature with brightly-colored wings. Mothra's life cycle—particularly the tendency of an imago's death to coincide with its larvae hatching—echoes that of the Phoenix, resembling resurrection and suggesting divinity. |

| − | Thousands of years ago, two space monsters, Ghidorah and Gigan, arrived to destroy the planet Earth. These demonic kaiju were forced to deal with resistance in the form of a giant dinosaur, a lion-like deity, and a species of highly advanced, enormous moths, which are known as Mothra. These moths were the protectors of the Shobijin of the Elias, a race of tiny, human-like fairy beings, who [[File:GvM21.png|thumb|left|Mothra after sending Ghidorah into Space]]inhabited the planet. After the ensuing battle, Gigan retreated to Outer Space and King Ghidorah was defeated and sealed within a giant rock and sent into space, although a great deal of life on the planet Earth was lost. |

With the rampaging Godzilla decimating half the countryside of Japan, Mothra, though weak in her current state, would journey to Japan to face Godzilla. Unfortunately, if she did leave, and was triumphant, she would not have the strength to return. So, lifting from her cavern shrine, the monstrous insect carried the prayers and wishes of the world on her wings. A few days passed before the angelic monster reached the mainland and forced a war with the roaring nuclear menace. The adult Mothra fought a long and difficult battle to repel the Monster King, and in response to her declining strength, her young larva prematurely hatched in order to assist her mother. Though his energized silk seemed to turn the tide of battle in the favor of the protectors, Godzilla attempts to use his atomic breath against the larva but Mothra sacrifices herself to save her child. The persistent insect leaped at the creature, but the massive monster again repelled the diminutive worm. |
