Pinned and mounted Acherontia styx displayed in a hand-crafted oak shadow box
A dramatic centerpiece for curious cabinets and quirky corners: a real Acherontia styx (death's-head hawkmoth) carefully spread, pinned, and mounted inside a hand-crafted oak shadow box. Each specimen arrives with wings fully splayed to showcase its striking patterning and the infamous skull-like marking on the thorax—nature’s little iconoclast—preserved with gentle care.
