Probably the more correct word, but I'd definitely call it een mot.

Completely unrelated, in Flemish the word mot is also used in such colorful expressions as:

'K heb et in de mot.
I see what is happening.

and

Moete een mot op u bakkes hebben?
Do you want me to punch you in the face?

(That last one is highly recommended in an appropriately rough bar in the Antwerp harbor. Lots of entertainment value.)

Similarly here -- I'd say eine Motte.

(BTW: "einen Nachtfalter", if you use that word. And I think you forgot le in your transcription of the Chinese.)

Since it's kind of hunting, we'd rather say "atrapar"

El gato atrapó una polilla
El gat va atrapar una arna

¡Pero está más gracioso con "coger"!

Aquí no... Ya sabes, nosotros cogemos sin darle ninguna importancia :)
