Acherontia atropos — Death’s-head Hawkmoth

An unmistakable hawkmoth characterised by its substantial body, mottled brown forewings and brilliant golden-yellow hindwings and abdomen.

The distinctive skull-like marking across the thorax has made Acherontia atropos one of the world’s most recognisable moths, while its spread wings reveal the beautiful contrast between its cryptic forewings and dramatically coloured hindwings.
