My fav bug in the whole world :') So lucky you get to see them just out and about!

Hey, I was just wondering if you could cover the death's head hawkmoth, which is known for its unique skull-like pattern. They can also squeak, which I find adorable.

Moth Of The day #21

Death's-head Hawk-moth

Acherontia atropos, acherontia styx, acherontia lachesis

The death's-head hawk-moth refers to any of three moth species in the Acherontia genus. These are the African death's-head (A. atropos), the lesser death's head (A. styx) and the greater death's-head (A. lachesis). They belong to the sphingidae family.

They have a wingspan of about 13cm, which equals 5 inches. They are most commonly found in gardens. The A. atropos is found throughout Europe and Africa, meanwhile A. styx and A. lachesis are found in Asia. The use of the common name usually refers to A. atropos.

Thank you, anon, for your suggestion. This is a very beloved moth by us.

@daughter-of-aletheia submitted: I believe this is an Acherontia atropos caterpillar, and it was found in germany. It was huge!

Oh wow HUGE friend. And what a beautiful outfit they’re wearing. Yes, it does indeed look like Acherontia atropos! One of my favorite species, and one of only a couple I’ve ever had submitted before! People may of course recognize the adult more than the caterpillar:
