Smrtoglavec Acherontia atropos

Description

**Smrtoglavec **(*Acherontia atropos*) Kadar odraslega metulja vznemirimo, se oglaša z glasnim škripajočim zvokom, nastalim med iztiskanjem zraka skozi sesalo. Gosenice se hranijo na krompirju, metulja pa pogosto najdemo v čebelnjakih, kjer išče med. Zbirka Prirodoslovnega muzeja Slovenije. **Death's-head Hawkmoth** (*Acherontia atropos*) When an adult moth is excited, it makes a loud squeaking sound as it expels air through a proboscis. The caterpillars feed on potatoes, and the moth is often found in beehives foraging for honey. Collection of the Slovenian Museum of Natural History.
