ACHERONTIA LACHESIS LACHESIS (Fabricius, 1798)
Wingspan: 100--132mm.These moths have several unusual features. They have the ability to emit a loud squeak if irritated. The sound is produced by expelling air from the pharynx, often accompanied by flashing of the brightly colored abdomen in a further attempt to deter predators. They raid beehives of different species of honey bee for honey; They can move about in hives without being disturbed because they mimic the scent of the bees.
