Mothra's design in the Monsterverse is reminiscent of the Male MUTO: she has a pair of curved front legs, digitigrade hind legs, a set of smaller arms on her chest and a pair of elongated membranous wings. This may be more than just coincidence: it's likely that Mothra's species is actually related to the MUTO, being in the same family just like how wasps and bees are, sharing common traits but being distinct in terms of behavior. Notably, both the MUTO species and, apparently, Mothra's species are symbiotic with Godzilla's, just different kinds of symbiosis (the MUTOs are parasitic and Mothra appears to be mutualistic, eg. what is colloquially referred to as symbiotic), and it is not unknown for evolution to cause jumps from one kind of symbiosis to another, or have speciation happen through specialising in different kinds of symbiosis. Alternatively, Mothra and the MUTO might not be related at all, but the MUTO evolved a similar appearance as a form of deceptive mimicry. This is similar to the real life fish called the saber-toothed blenny, that mimics the appearance of the beneficial cleaner wrasse, luring in unsuspecting fish for a grooming, only to attack them when they come close. It's possible that the male MUTO evolved a similar appearance to Mothra's species, to lure unsuspecting, inexperienced members of Godzilla's species over to their nest where the larger and stronger female would be lying in wait.
