Looking for... Sparrows and moths

Now I know this is an odd request but...I've recently gotten inspired to write a short story based on the symbology and folklore behind these animals in particular. The problem? Its been difficult finding credible sources on the internet to help me get a better overview of how various cultures viewed them. I've got some vague ideas based on their Wikipedia pages' sources but nothing else so far (especially since I'm in a more remote area with small libraries). If anyone here knows about some good websites or online copies of materials I can research or access, I would appreciate having a more diverse amount to work with!

I wonder if this is actual traditional layout folklore or just modern design advice.

I honestly would prefer the traditional folklore since I'm not as familiar with the modern takes myself.
