Not long ago, the film page of Monarch posted an interesting photo that has got fans buzzing. The “classified” picture posted is sourced from the Temple of the Moth from the Yucca province. The image is of cave art which appears to show a carving of Mothra surrounded by larvae and a slumbering cocoon overhead.

Of course, fans have known for some time that Mothra would be one of a few beasts to sit in on Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Legendary hinted the insect kaiju would appear on-screen with other classic creatures like Rodan and King Ghidorah. The hint came in the form of a film reel, and the clip’s tease for Mothra included a reference to the Temple of the Moth. However, the cave in question was found in the Yunnan Province of China in 2009, and notes explained a “quickening heartbeat” was detected from within the space.
The reel hasn’t been the only teaser for Godzilla‘s famous opponents. The post-credits scene for Kong: Skull Island revealed archival footage of Monarch’s various excursions. The clip saw scientists explore the ancestral homes of Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah.
If you are not familiar with Mothra, then you should know the kaiju is one of Godzilla’s most famous creatures. Despite squaring off against Godzilla, Mothra is often viewed by franchise purists as a heroic kaiju since Mothra fights to protect her territory.
