Click on image to enlargeThis is an interesting looking Vintage Moth image from an early Natural History Book. The moth is called a "Death's Head Hawk Moth". If you look closely you can see a skull like pattern on it's back. Thus the "Death's Head" name. I don't think I've ever seen one like that around here before! Do any of you guys have these where you live?

ReplyDeleteexcellent image xoxo karen
ReplyDeleteOMG, thanks a lot for this terrific moth! LOVE that image
ReplyDeleteGreat image, thanks! According to Wikipedia, there are 3 species and are found primarily in Europe and Asia. And they all have the odd ability to squeak loudly when irritated! xxx Nancy
ReplyDeleteNancy,
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me?!! They squeak! That's crazy!!!
ACK! Karen, I love love love your website and clip art - but OMG, I am absolutely terrified of moths and this might just give me nightmares. Especially knowing that they can SQUEAK haha!! Thank goodness they are no where near me in the US.
ReplyDeleteWoW! This is an incredible image. That moth is amazing. And thank you Nancy for the info. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteOooh! Sorry Maggie! I'm glad you're safe from the real ones!
ReplyDeleteLove this picture, would love to see the real one even more. I'm a moth-lover, you can find me in my garden of out in the field during the night when everybody else sleeps or parties, with a special light to attrac moth. But this is a rare species here, so for now, I will just admire your beautiful picture.

Looks like a Carolina Sphinx Moth. Or as some people call it a Tobacco Moth.
