Death’s Head Hawk Moth:  9” x 12”, colored pencil, graphite on paper There is a reputation surrounding this moth that says it’s an omen of  the inevitable due to the skull-like shape on its back.  Dracula was said  to have fed Renfield these moths as nourishment and Edgar Allen Poe  also wrote of them. They, of course, are harmless. Only eating honey  bees.  I like them because they’re pretty. :)
