Death's-head Hawkmoth T-Shirt
A specimen of gothic natural history, complete with skull markings and excellent secrets.
Death's Head Hawkmoth Tee
Acherontia atropos, named after the river of the underworld and the Fate who cuts the thread of life. Whoever named this moth was clearly having a moment, and the result is one of the most dramatic scientific names in existence.
The skull on its back isn't a warning, it's just how the moth looks. It can squeak when disturbed and sneaks into beehives for honey by faking the bees' own scent signals. Made famous by Silence of the Lambs, feared for centuries before anyone knew what it actually was.
For the entomologists, moth lovers, goths, horror fans, and anyone who's ever been called "a lot" before people figured out what they were actually dealing with.
