Death's Head Hawkmoth Print Size:5 x 7 Inches _geological_SurveyThe deaths head hawkmoth is the ultimate Victorian gothic icon exquisitely detailed, slightly unsettling, and instantly recognisable thanks to the skull like marking on its thorax. Its the kind of specimen that would have lived in a glass topped collectors drawer and its also famously featured in Silence of the Lambs. A striking piece for a gallery wall of curiosities, a dark academic study, or anyone who loves vintage entomology with a little drama.
