There's a thin line between blogs that make sense.

10.) Death's Head Hawkmoth

This is the first part of a 10 day 10 part series of blogposts, the most fucked up animals in the world. For a full list of all the entries (once they're completed) click HERE.

Coming in at #10 is the Death's Head Hawkmoth. This little guy is famous for being totally hardcore, and he was into Poison way before it was cool to be into Poison. He will also emit a loud squeak if you try to fuck with him. I have to admit, squeaks aren't all that hardcore, but apparently it's loud so I'll give it some credit there. They make the sound by rubbing their palpi together with their probiscus which is something that you can't do.

Oh, and did I forget? They have a HUGE FUCKING SKULL ON THEIR BACK!

When not found raiding the moshpits, you can usually find them raiding beehives Whinnie the Pooh style - but the bee's won't fuck with them because they make farts that make them smell like bees. Totally awesome.

The Death's Head Moths are actually three different species of Moth: Atropos, Lachesis and, I shit you not, Styx.

This little guy barely pulled in at 10th place because there isn't a whole lot more to him. He's got a scary skull, blah blah blah, steeped in mythology, blah blah, blah.

I think it looks more like a puppy than a skull, actually . . .
