This pet is a little-known powerhouse. When buying the [item=29903] from [npc=21019] in Exodar, learn it immediately and keep buying eggs until you find a moth with a breed-4, P/P build. At level 1, uncommon (i.e. when you first learn it) the breed 4 will have stats of H=148 / P=13 / S=9. Be sure to level it up several levels before upgrading it (I recommend at least level 10), as there have been reports of upgrading re-assigning the breed if done at low levels.
Once it reaches level 25, the Yellow Moth will have 341 power, making it a crushing opponent for aquatics. Don't let the low speed (244) worry you - because of the species benefit flying pets enjoy, it will have 50% more speed as long as it has 50% or more of its health (In essence, you'll start the battle with 341 power and 366 speed, which should grant you first shot in most situations). Open with [petability=508], follow with [petability=504] and save [petability=506] for when your health is low (though if your first attack puts your opponent to sleep, he may never hit you).
Happy Battling!

In the current MOP BETA, the pet journal has flavor text for most of the pets. The flavor text for this pet is as follows: "Prefers flying during thunderstorms, which are common in Azuremyst Isle."
This may be a tactical advantage as there will be weather to worry about in pet battles.
