And lifted its legs.
Up.
Down."

Yes, Arundhati Roy uses Moth as a symbol of emotion, but specifically, she uses Moth as a bad situation. Moth is a symbol of the scary situation.
Well yes, the moth does in fact symbolize some kind of emotion, whether it be sadness, freighted, or even depressed. the moth can symbolize many things even to Pappachi it, become something new and have a new meaning.
