You've seen it in movies and photographs everywhere, this is the famous Death's Head moth! And these are the most vibrant and colorful group we've ever had, the famous skull on it's back is as bright as ever, get a few while you can!

Long before this moth became famous in the movie, The Silence of the Lambs (among several other movies featuring this moth) it has represented a symbol of death for hundreds of years. It is rumored that it was first sighted in Europe at the execution of King Charles I in 1649, and can be found in Asian and African folklore dating back hundreds or even thousands of years! A wonderful addition to any collection.

Customer Review PhotoCustomer Photo Perfection! I received the Death's Head Moth as an X-mas gift, and was completely blown away at the specimen's beauty. The Butterfly Company packaged the Moth with such care, it remained completely intact through it's journey. I will be purchasing some more specimen's to add to my collection. I highly recommend this company! Heather Rutledge Posted:

Excellent in all regards May I say that my experience with Mr. Rudy and his company has been superb from the onset. Communication, support, shipping and packaging and most important the product itself. I used the spreading service and I am most pleased with the superb Acheontia specimens with excellent skulls and beautiful spreads. I will be dealing with Mr. Rudy to add additional items to my collection. Dr.Cornett Posted:
