The death's-head hawkmoth is best known for the spooky skull pattern on its thorax. It's eerie appearance has surrounded it in superstition. A favorite insect of pop culture, it famously appears in the 1991 film Silence of the Lambs, a surrealist film by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí, and Edgar Allan Poe's short story, The Sphinx.

This beautiful pin features a death's-head moth held in a pair of witchy, tattooed hands. A large pin sized at approximately 1.63" x 1.31" with two metal clasps on the back to make pin twice as secure.
