Utility Tips

What is a lymantria used for? lymantria battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Me and my friend are plotting…
On scorched, he’s never had a wyvern before and so I (I’m quite experienced, not a brag but to set the scene) said: “hey, those moths slow you down, right? With their puff of fart whatever it is, right?” He said something like “yeah…” so I said, “so what if we got a flock of these on aggressive, got the egg and flew out through them on the way back to slow and distract the wyverns?” He said “Yeah,” then I said “and what if we use the calming scent of the pachyrhinosaurus to help against the wyverns?” He said “yeah!” So I said, “so should go tame them?”
Now it’s the only way he gets eggs- we’re 67 moths and 23 pachyrhinos strong and are improving
I know, you may never believe me,
But,,,,
These Moths can be used for greatness!!, not just standing around looking pretty on your rooftops!,
You can Trust Me, because I’ve done it! I’ve ridden on one of these and successfully stole a level 20
Lightning Wyvern Egg, and escaped back to base without a single wyvern chasing me thanks to some help thought I must admit, ahem, my small vulture army i sent to distract the eggs mother as she was the only wyvern in that immediate area,
Once that Egg hatched, while the Lvl was low Bubble-Gum the mainly Cyan and Pink highlighted Lightning Wyvern became the very reason I was able to tame good level argys so I could get better wyverns like my Army of High levels I now have , one which is specifically a Lighting Wyvern has neary 1000 attack damage!.
But in the end the thanks truly goes back to My Moth, whose name WAS LAMP….Yes with all Capitals, LAMP sadly was lost ,during and expedition of trying to gather more eggs before I got any other wyverns other than Bubble-Gum,,,killed by a dozen Wyverns in the very place LAMP first robbed them of one of their eggs…….R.I.P LAMP you made my scorched earth progress possible! And even now on Fjordur which I made my main map, while I attempt to make an army of rexes and more, even though LAMP is gone, Bubble-Gum remains safe and pretty much retired at my scorched earth base,
Never Forget LAMP The Lymantria.

These are the friggin cutest thing ever (in my opinion) to tame and make little chirrup sounds so I would recommend just getting an army of them and putting them inside your personal base (not for Dinos) on a PVE or single player and just chill, very stress relieving to just have a bunch of cuddly moths around you for me. Helps me at least when stressed on ark, not being stressed helps a lot. Pretty random but idk
You know the guy who said it can be used as a lift truck.....
well he knows what he’s talking about. Only pump wieght and you are set to take all those materials out of the base you just raided and putting them in my vaults. 10/10 best cargo transport. Now I got weight mutations because of tlc3
You can use this big ass moth as a lift truck inside your base since it can fit through double doors and is very easy to manoeuvre in closed spaces, unlike the Ptera. You can easily move thousands of metal ingots from and Industrial Forge to a Fabri, or loads of stone from a Doed to a Chen bench, etc etc. Its starting weight is quite shitty but you can allocate every single level on it since it’s the only thing you need. This role works particularly well on unofficial servers in where the weight stat is boosted.
Sounds unlikely but quite true...I own a high level moth with beautiful scarlet wings. It was following me set to attack target when I encountered 3 raptors & a carno. While I was piking the rappies to death my lymantria actually killed that carno plus harvested its meat & hide. AWESOME little beast❗
