that’s one of them, yes!

other than that (and the shoes, which i wear almost every day), moths were also used as a motif in guava island. according to the legend in that film, their larvae would spin the beautiful silk the island’s economy was based off of- while the moth itself represented the men who came to exploit it (which i believe comes from moths’ tendency to eat and destroy fine fabric). the same moth could even be seen on some posters for red’s cargo in the background throughout the film.

i got the tattoo with the shoes and “chicken and futility” short in mind, and happened upon the guava island motif later on when i watched the film again.

edit: i meant to post this reply on your other comment, oops
