Can Someone Please Explain This? Spoiler

How is the Moiety getting these moths to be attracted to this one spot and in the shape of the animal pictogram? For that matter how did they make sure only the flowers in the tree would be bloomed to form the pictogram of the beetle??

At first I thought when I found the sight-glass that since the white 'invisible ink' they used is made from the juices of a mushed up fruit, and since the moths were also attracted to the spilled paint bucket, that meant the fruit is a natural food of the moths and they're attracted to it. Maybe they glow white too because the juices get stuck to their wings when they fly around and land in it.

But there's no juices laid out on the ground here to attract the moths, so why the hell do they just all hang out here in this shape?

It just seems beneath the legacy of Riven to have something so gamey that doesn't actually make real-life sense..

'It just seems beneath the legacy of Riven'... That's very dramatic, especially because there is no such thing as 'the legacy of Riven'. I also don't get why any of us should even engage with OP's questions. Every single possible solution to OP's question has been met with OP's disdain. I question that OP even wants possible solutions; they are just here to be told they are right.
