Description
Bee Tiger: The Death's Head Hawk-moth Through the Looking-glass
Discover the fascinating world of mimicry with Philip Howse, an expert in this intriguing insect. This hawk-moth, known for its yellow and black stripes, has evolved to deceive bees and other predators, while also evading detection.
The Death's Head Hawk-moth's sinister appearance, marked by human skull-like markings on its thorax, has led to the creation of superstitions and a perception of it as a threat. Howse delves into the biology and rich folklore surrounding this remarkable insect, revealing the intricate relationships between predator and prey.
