Death’s-head Hawkmoth Hard Enamel Pin

Spooky, striking and surprisingly sweet-toothed, the Death’s-head Hawkmoth is a large nocturnal moth famous for the eerie, skull-like pattern on its thorax. It feeds on nectar and honey, and has a cheeky trick for getting the latter: it can mimic the scent of honeybees, letting it slip into beehives undetected to raid their stores.

Fun fact: When disturbed, the Death’s-head Hawkmoth lets out a loud squeak by pushing air through its proboscis, one of the very few moths that can make a sound.

This is one of the largest and most detailed pins we’ve ever made, finished in gold plating with screen-printed details to bring out every bit of that ghostly pattern.

Wear it on a jacket, hat, bag or lanyard. A perfect gift for moth lovers, entomology fans, and anyone who loves a touch of the macabre, especially around Halloween.
