A real preserved Acherontia (death's head hawk moth) specimen mounted in a handmade wooden shadow-box frame, sold as an oddities-and-curiosities piece for tabletop or wall display. The skull-patterned thorax is the whole draw here — it's the marking that put this genus in every gothic-adjacent visual reference from Silence of the Lambs onward, and this is a genuine specimen behind glass rather than an illustration or resin cast of one.
490 prior accessions average 4.8/5 at $65.00, a solid showing for the entry-level end of actual specimen collecting. The listing doesn't specify frame dimensions, wood species, glass vs. acrylic glazing, or whether individual specimens vary in wingspan and marking clarity (they will — this is real biological material), so treat any of those as unconfirmed until it's in hand.
