Death's Head Hawk Taxidermy Moth in Glass Dome (Acherontia lachesis)

An amazing Deaths Head Hawk moth in a handmade wooden dome mounted on clear acrylic rods, creating the illusion that the specimen is floating. Your choice of a brown or black base.


The Deaths Head moth belongs to the Acherontia family of moths. These moths are easily distinguishable by the vaguely human skull-shaped pattern of markings on the thorax. The skull-like pattern and its fanciful associations with the supernatural and evil have fostered superstitious fears of the species.
