Death's head Hawkmoth caterpillar for #NationalMothWeek #NMW2021 🐛The common name for Acherontia atropos, death’s head moth, derives from the fancied facsimile of a human skull on the upper surface of the body. 🐛Plants of the Solanaceae family, especially potatoes, have long been considered to be the primary foodplant of Deaths’ Head Hawkmoth larvae. These contain toxic alkaloids. Larvae absorb these toxins and become poisonous to predators. 🐛A. atropos is the fastest species of moth in the world and can fly up to 30 mph. 🐛The poster for the 1991 film Silence of the Lambs features a death head moth, which itself contains a reference to a famous painting by Salvador Dali.  ✍Source: BBC Earth 📷Reference image: Pinterest/Alex Menrich 📝Brustro artist's watercolour paper 300GSM cold-pressed @brustro_official 🖌 Camlin synthetic brushes 000 and 1 @camlin_official 🎨 Art Philosophy Co.

Moses-in-the-cradle | Oyster plant | boat lily | Tradescantia Spathacea I am in love with the foliage it has. It has dark green colour on the top and purple at the bottom. Can be taken care as other plants. Water when the top soil is completely dry. Needs a well-drain soil. It's waxy leaves with dual colour gives its smart look. It is considered among the ornament plant category. @squad_gardner #tradescantia #spathacea #homegardening🌱 #balconygarden #pots #potgardening #indianhome #indianlife #indianplants #insta #instaplants #plantlady #plantlife🌱 #plantforever #plantforever (at Bangalore, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ltoF4JD9R/?igshid=1960qcnpakt22
