Death's Head Moth
This frame is part of my SECONDS SALE! This means there is slight damage to the frame or to the moth, all pieces in the seconds sale are final sale so please examine the photos closely. Tattering of wings is normal in natural death moths and does not count as damage.
Large moths tend to become greasy after death due to fat stores that the moths live on, because this moth’s main diet is honey, those fat stores will sometimes crystalize on the outside of the moth. This piece is discounted because of this.
Acherontia lachesis aka the Death’s Head Moth. Known for their telltale “skull” on the back of their thorax, this skull is actually meant to resemble the face of a hornet since this moth’s main diet consists of honey from honeybee hives!
