Depending on your German regional dialect, this moth is known as the "totenkopf" butterfly... translated (death's head) or (skull)( and crossbones).
The moth has long been associated with death and the supernatural in folklore, art, and literature due to the marking and its ability to produce an audible squeak when disturbed.
It was notably featured in the movie The Silence of the Lambs!
