death's-head hawk moth shadow box
The death's-head hawk moth (Acherontia atropos) is a large, distinctive moth known for the skull-like pattern on its thorax, which gives it its name. Native to Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa, it has a wingspan of up to 5 inches. The moth is notable for its ability to emit a loud squeaking sound when threatened, using specialized vocal cords to scare off predators. Their larvae feed on plants like potatoes and tomatoes, while the adults are attracted to honey and are often seen raiding beehives. They are also known for their impressive ability to fly long distances, even navigating over vast areas to find food.
