Description: The skull-like pattern and its fanciful associations with the supernatural and evil have fostered superstitious fears of Acherontia species, particularly Acherontia atropos, perhaps because it is the most widely known. The moths' sharp, mouse-like squeaking intensify the effect. Nor is this a new attitude: during the mid-19th century, entomologist Edward Newman, having earlier mentioned the mark on the thorax wrote: "However, let the cause of the noise be what it may, the effect is to produce the most superstitious feelings among the uneducated, by whom it is always regarded with feelings of awe and terror."
Description: This hand drawn Hummingbird Hawk-Moth is a great gift for any moth lover, insect fan, entomologist, animal enthusiast or nature person. Hummingbird hawk-moths are loved by gardeners, hikers, farmers and those who think biodiversity is super important. Also, they are considered to be good omens! So if you are looking for a cool, cute and meaningful animal or insect design goodie for somebody special, you might have come to the right place.
