In Hogwarts Legacy, you will have plenty of side quests to complete, and one of them is a Moth to a Frame quest. Locating the Moth pictures and returning their moths will earn you rewards toward your Field Guide challenges and here’s how to locate each one easily in-game.
Where to find all the Moth to the Frame picture locations in Hogwarts Legacy
These moth pictures are hidden all around Hogwarts and outer locations, waiting for their moths to be returned to them. Shining your Lumos light into the picture will reveal an image for you to track down a moth and return it to the frame. Since there isn’t a clear local map, you’ll want to really pay attention to your compass and utilize your Revelio as much as possible to help find them. Here are all the locations to look for:
All Hogwarts Moth to the Frame Locations in Hogwarts Legacy
Central Hall Moth to the Frame Location in Hogwarts Legacy
The Central Hall location is where you will begin the side quest with Lenora, who will claim she’s been trying to figure it out and ask for your assistance.

The missing moth is just straight down and to the left under the staircase.
Library Location Moth to the Frame Location in Hogwarts Legacy
You can find another moth picture on the second floor of the library. It is tucked away into the upper right corner.
