What is the average height of a moth from head to tail? (highlighted in the picture via a red line) I need to know this for a species I am making for an RPG. Unfortunately, I only was able to find a wing-span of a moth.

I don't know the precise answer, but how I would approach this if I could only find the wing span is I'd look up a bunch of photos, like the one you've supplied, and measure the ratio of body length to wingspan in pixels. Then you can apply that ratio to the average wingspan that you are able to find. Would it be 100% accurate? No. Would it be good enough for an RPG? For any character or species I'd make I think it'd be close enough. But that's for you to decide.
