The forewings are richly mottled in shades of brown, charcoal, and cream, while the hindwings are a vivid yellow to orange crossed by bold dark bands. The robust abdomen shows distinctive yellow-and-black striping. With a wingspan typically measuring 80–120 mm (about 3.5–5 inches), it is one of the largest and most powerful moths of its range. When alarmed, the living moth can even produce a distinctive squeaking sound.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNative across Africa and southern Europe (with seasonal migrants reaching farther north), the Death’s-head Hawkmoth is a strong nocturnal flier and one of the most celebrated species in entomological collections.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e•\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eAuthentic, ethically sourced real moth specimen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e•\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eCarefully pinned and mounted with wings spread to showcase the full size, skull-like thorax marking, yellow hindwings, and striped abdomen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e•\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003ePresented in a high-quality frame with acrylic front for protection and clarity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e•\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eReady to hang or display on a shelf, desk, or gallery wall\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e•\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eA unique piece of natural history art—perfect for nature lovers, collectors, entomology enthusiasts, or as a dramatic and conversation-starting gift\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach specimen is unique, with subtle variations in the exact patterning of the skull mark and wing tones that make every framed piece one-of-a-kind.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCare Tips\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKeep out of direct sunlight and high humidity to preserve the rich colors and delicate wing scales for years to come.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBring home this legendary Death’s-head Hawkmoth today and enjoy a timeless reminder of one of nature’s most hauntingly beautiful insects.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House Of Morpho","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52875829739796,"sku":null,"price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/7916\/8788\/files\/07DA8E65-C813-4405-AE65-9D125E6E3C0B.jpg?v=1784829351","url":"https:\/\/houseofmorpho.us\/products\/deaths-head-moth","provider":"House Of Morpho","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
