Death Throes. When the carrion moth reaches 0 hit points, it splits open and a gas spews forth in a 10-foot radius. All creatures in the area except for other carrion moths must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute. A poisoned creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

Drone. A creature who begins its turn within 60 feet of the carrion moth must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be incapacitated until the beginning of its next turn. If a creature succeeds on the saving throw, or the condition ends on it, it is immune to the moth’s drone for 24 hours.
