is a large nocturnal moth known for its distinctive skull-like markings on the back of its chest. Widely distributed in parts of Africa, Europe and Asia. The body color varies from dark brown to yellow, but the most prominent feature is the skull-like pattern on its chest. The adults feed on the nectar of a variety of plants and sometimes enter the hive to steal honey. The larvae feed mainly on the alkaloid-containing plant leaves. It is active between dusk and midnight, is phototropic, and has a variable and unpredictable flight pattern. Male moths emit high-frequency squeals during courtship, a defense mechanism created by inhaling and expelling air.
