Cytheronia Brisotii/ Skull moth is a Species of Lepidoptera in the Family of Giant Silkworm Moths.

From a huge horns caterpillar called “Infernal Caterpillar” and “Devil's Caterpillar” one could not expect anything else: it turns into a moth that has the design of a angry skull on each wing. But this species is completely harmless, both in the state of caterpillar and in the form of moth.
Skull -shaped designs on the wings of these moths are unique in each specimen, as are our fingerprints.

Since they do not feed as adults, they should live shortly, probably not much more than a week. But this is compensated for its reproduction efficiency.

*This is all I found in the web about this strange moth I photographed last September at the same hotel I use to see hummingbirds.

Happy Halloween to all my Flickr friends!
