Overview
Philip Howse, an expert on mimicry, takes us on a tour de force of the biology and rich folklore of this intriguing large insect. The death's head hawk-moth steals honey from hives unnoticed by bees and also deceives its predators. It can be perceived as a threat and creates superstitions due to its sinister-looking skull markings on its thorax.
