death's-head moth
A death's-head moth refers to any of the three species of moth in the genus Acherontia. These large moths are distinguishable by the vaguely human skull-shaped pattern of colors on their thorax. They are native to Europe, Asia, and some parts of Africa and named for the ominous pattern that traditionally associates with death. They are also notable for their ability to emit a loud squeak when irritated. The most famous of these species is probably the death's-head hawkmoth, known for its role in the popular movie "The Silence of the Lambs".
