Acherontia atropos, the death’s-head hawkmoth, is native to southern Europe and much of Africa and is famous for the skull-like marking on its thorax. Despite its dark folklore, this species is harmless and only a minor agricultural pest. This striking specimen is beautifully preserved in a 5"x5" frame, making it a captivating piece for collectors of natural history and gothic curiosities.
