Acherontia atropos, more commonly known as a subspecies of the Death's head hawkmoth, is the most widely recognized of the three species of moth within the Acherontia genus (the other two being Acherontia lachesis and Acherontia styx). It is most commonly identified by the vaguely skull-shaped pattern adorning the thorax, the leading characteristic from which its common name is derived.
Death's head hawk moths are a large family of moth, ranging anywhere from 3.5 inches to 5 inches upon entering adulthood.[1] The upper wings are dark in color, creating a stark contrast between the lower wings, which range from a bright yellow to a light cream color, cream being the least common of the two.
It is commonly found in the southern part of Europe and throughout much of Africa, from where it is considered to be a native species. Annually, A. atropus migrates to parts of Britain, most numerously to the British Isles, where it is less commonly seen than in its native place of residency.
