La sfinge testa di morto, Acherontia atropos è una grossa falena appartenente alla famiglia Sphingidae, ben nota per un disegno dorsale sul torace che fa pensare ad un teschio. A causa di questo disegno e soprattutto della stupidità umana, la nostra povera sfinge, anche se del tutto innocua nei nostri confronti, si è guadagnata una reputazione negativa, ha ispirato collegamenti con la morte e con le forze del male, ed è stata considerata messaggera di disgrazie e malattie e portatrice di sfortuna. Questa sua del tutto immeritata notorietà ha fatto sì che venisse citata e rappresentata in racconti, romanzi, dipinti, film, fin da epoche remote. Ne cito solo uno a titolo di esempio, ma l'elenco potrebbe essere molto più lungo. Primo fra tutti il famoso film "Il silenzio degli innocenti". E' attirata dal miele. Entra nell'alveare e sfonda le cellette rimpinzandosi del dolce alimento, ma non sempre riesce nell'intento. Spesso viene uccisa dalle stesse api e mummificata con la propoli. Questo per evitare che la decomposizione della falena possa portare a nocive infezioni per kla comunità. La Natura è stupefacente
