Like the Earth, the shape of the Moon is spherical.

Because of the way we see the Moon move around the Earth in the sunlight, we see the illuminated part of the Moon differently depending on the phase of the Moon.

These are the phases of the moon. Throughout the month as the moon orbits the earth, our view of the moons 'lit' part changes. New moon is where the dark side of the moon is facing the earth, with the sun behind the moon from our viewpoint. As the month goes on we see a growing or waxing crescent, half moon, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous (shrinking again), half moon, waning crescent (the last sliver), then back to new moon.

Moths are highly attracted to light and therefore observe all phases of moon but prefer full moon. The dark of the night sky increases the contest of the moon especially crescent moons and will be observed by moths. Bats often come out to hunt moths in full moons but moths will observe all phases of the moon

crescent, waxing and waning
It is called a Lunar Phase, Lunar Phases are created by the light of the sun. The new moon is not visible and has no light concentrated on it, a full moon is created when it has a full view of the sun, this is why you can see the moon in the day. It is like a Lunar Eclipse (Solar Eclipse) when the moon is covering the sun, the totality phase of a total lunar eclipse can last anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours depending on the exact geometry of the eclipse.

So the conclusion is, the sun is the only thing that gives the moon phases by its light.

The moon doesn't change shape. The earth blocks sun light from getting to the moon in varying amounts based on the position of the earth. The lite part of the moon is the sun reflecting off the moon, the dark part is actually the earth's shadow.
