Find title of a book about a race searching for giant space moths

Question

I read this library book in 1972. The opening is an image of giant moths flying through space.
The story takes place on a planet (Earth?) where people each have one psychic power. Except that four people after near-death experiences have multiple powers.

Almost certainly Eric Frank Russel's Sentinels From Space.
Space travel and exposure to cosmic radiation has led to a dozen types of mutants appearing, notably telepaths, hypnos and insectivocals (who can control insects). The central characters appear to have some new powers which the recognised types don't possess, and are taken for extraterrestrial spies, but all is not as it seems.
