If a moth is dying the signs would probably be an obvious injury impairing the animal. The animal would probably be showing suffering including lack of movement or violent sudden movements.

It will generally sit on the floor, won't fly or climb, and the legs will slowly curl up underneath the body. Also look at the eyes to see if it's already dead or not; a living insect typically has colourful eyes with visible darker spots, which seem to move as you look from different angles, a dead one has colourless, non-gleaming eyes.

Touch it gently to see if it moves.

If it is outdoors in winter time it may not respond, if it is holding on with its legs it is alive. Dead butterflies fall to the ground.
