Moth of the Week
African Death’s-Head Hawkmoth
Acherontia atropos
The African death's-head hawkmoth is part of the family Sphingidae and is the most widely recognized of the three species of Death’s-Head Hawkmoth. The species was described in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus. Its common name comes from the skull shape on the back of its thorax. It’s binomial name: comes from the river Acheron in Greece, which was believed to lead to the Underworld, and the Greek goddess Atropos respectively.
Description The forewings are black/brown with mottled shades of brown while the hindwings are buff orange with two black/brown stripes that curve with the edge of the hindwing. The head and thorax are the same black/brown color as the forewings interrupted by the brown skull on the back of the thorax. The abdomen is the same buff color as the hindwings with similar stripes of the same color. There is also a single stripe down the center of the abdomen called the “dorsal stripe.”
Average Wingspan: 13 cm (5 in)
Females are large than males with a rounded abdomen tip and larger, thicker antennae
Males have a pointed abdomen tip
Diet and Habitat Larva of this species mainly eat the leaves of potato plants which have alkaloids. The larva accumulate these toxins to become unpalatable to predators. Adults eat the nectar of flowers and stolen honey from the beehives of the Western Honey Bee. They are able to mimic the scent of bees and steal the honey undetected. They use their proboscis, a tube used to drink nectar and honey, to break the honey comb.
Their ranges stretches from the Middle East, as far south as the southern tip of Africa, as far north as southern Great Britain, as far east as India and western Saudi Arabia, and as far west as the Canary Islands and Azores. It is known to move into western Eurasia, but a majority do not survive the winter.
Mating This moth has multiple generations per year. In Africa, the broods are continuous. In the northern range, the larva overwinter in the pupal stage. Eggs are laid singly on the underside of species in mainly Solanaceae but also Physalis, Verbenaceae, Cannabaceae, Oleaceae, Pedaliaceae and others.
Predators This moth can emit a special squeak noise by sucking in air to vibrate a flap in its mouth and throat. The purpose of this squeak is unclear, but the two hypotheses are it is to scare away predators or to mimic the sound of a queen bee makes for the workers to stop moving to easier raid beehives for honey. They are also immune to bee venom and can mimic the scent of bees.
Fun Fact This moth has appeared many times in pop culture as symbols of death and evil:
It appeared in The Hireling Shepherd, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Un Chien Andalou, the promotional marquee posters for The Silence of the Lambs, in the music video to Massive Attack's single, "Butterfly Caught,” and on the American edition's cover of José Saramago's novel Death with Interruptions.
It is mentioned in Susan Hill's Gothic horror novel I'm the King of the Castle and John Keats’s "Ode to Melancholy.”
It is referred to in The Mothman Prophecies.
Finally, the moth is used as a calling card by the serial killer Buffalo Bill. However, in the movie script they are referred to under a different species of death’s-head hawkmoths.

All Bill, everywhere, all the time
And what would you expect in Cody, Wyoming, the town named after the famous frontier ruffian and consummate showman …?
I almost lobbied to skip the Buffalo Bill Center of the West on “tourist trap” grounds. That would have been a mistake.
Sure, the Center, like the town and, for that matter, the whole region, is full of BB, but that’s only one-fifth of the place - literally. The center includes four other museums under one roof - Plains Indians, Whitney Western Art, Firearms and Natural History - and they’re all top notch.
Admission fee - around 20 bucks - is good for two days. We spent a whole afternoon there, then returned the next morning. I can’t remember ever going to a museum on two consecutive days before.
To complete our Buffalo Bill immersion, we ate dinner at The Irma, built by Cody in 1902 and named after his daughter. Frankly the food was so-so but the atmosphere was just what you’d want.
The flashy cherrywood backbar (bottom photo) was a gift from Queen Victoria and the antique cash register no longer cha-chings but makes a fine piece of eye candy.

New Post has been published on https://www.packernet.com/blog/2024/02/19/how-did-the-packers-jordan-love-fare-against-the-nfls-top-quarterbacks-in-2023/
How Did the Packers' Jordan Love Fare Against the NFL's Top Quarterbacks in 2023?
The Green Bay Packers have long been a storied franchise with a lineage of quarterback greats. Heading into the 2023 seasons. The Cheeseheads didn’t know what to expect as it was the first season in almost two decades in which they would line up without Aaron Rodgers as part of their squad.
The four-time MVP winner left Lambeau Field last summer in favor of a new venture with the New York Jets, however, his season ended six minutes into his debut after tearing his Achilles in the curtain raiser against the Buffalo Bills at MetLife Stadium
Back in Wisconsin however, the pressure was truly on as Jordan Love took the reins as the starting QB, and all eyes were on how he would stack up against the league’s elite signal-callers.
The talented 25-year-old entered the season with the weight of the world on his young shoulders and the daunting task of leading one of the most storied franchises in the entire league into battle. In a league where the QB is often seen as the cornerstone of the team, the former Utah State star’s progress and performance were pivotal to the Packers’ success.
Let’s explore how he measured up to other top quarterbacks in the league.
Patrick Mahomes
Patrick Mahomes has been nothing short of a sensation in the NFL, often setting the benchmark for quarterback play. The former Texas Tech standout’s arsenal includes pinpoint accuracy, the ability to extend plays, and a tendency to make the big throws when it counts. he has demonstrated that throughout the course of the playoffs, leading his unfancied Kansas City Chiefs all the way to the Super Bowl even though they entered the postseason after a wretched run of form.
The Missouri-based side lost five of their last ten games, but their early season form was enough to secure the AFC West title. They have since knocked off the Miami Dolphins, as well as road victories against the Buffalo Bills and the Baltimore Ravens, with online NFL spreads making them a +280 underdog for success in the latter of those games. Both Mahomes and Love comfortably racked up over 4,000 yards, with the former out-throwing the latter by just 24 yards throughout the course of the regular season.
But the Green Bay sensation did have the edge when it came to touchdowns, racking up a mighty 32 – the second highest in the entire league – to Mahomes’ 28. However, he would swap that in a heartbreak if it meant that he would be able to feature in the Big Game just as Arrowhead’s finest is for the fourth time in five years.
Tua Tagovailoa
Tua Tagovailoa rose to prominence with his quick release and decision-making which has made him one of the most effective quarterbacks in the league. Over the course of the last two years, the former University of Alabama standout has come into his own, leading the Miami Dolphins into the playoffs on both occasions. Last year, his side was downed by the Buffalo Bills while this year, the Chiefs had too much for them to handle in the wildcard round.
Tua had an MVP-caliber campaign in 2023, topping the league in terms of throwing yards by amassing some 465 yards more than Love. However, he couldn’t match him when it came to touchdowns, throwing three less than the man under center at Lambeau.
Jared Goff
Jared Goff has a reputation for being a solid pocket passer and orchestrating offense with precision. Since making the move to the Detroit Lions two years ago, he has become one of the most well-rounded players in the entire league. This year, he led the Ford Field outfit to its first AFC North crown in history, before also securing their first postseason victory in 32 years, snapping a run of eight straight wildcard round eliminations.
If that wasn’t enough, the Lions then knocked off the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the divisional round, sending them to the NFC Championship game for the first time in history. And it looked as though they were going to get the victory against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium after amassing a huge 24-7 lead at halftime. But unfortunately for Goff and Co., the Niners would mount a comeback of the ages in the second stanza, ultimately running out 34-31 victors.
Throughout the regular season, Goff outthrew Love by 416 yards, but he did throw two fewer touchdowns than his contemporary.
Lamar Jackson
When it comes to dual-threat capabilities, Lamar Jackson is often one of the first names mentioned. His dynamic playmaking with both his arms and legs sets a unique bar. Comparing Love’s rushing stats, escape ability, and versatility with Jackson offers no comparison. The Baltimore star was the dominant quarterback on the ground last season, amassing a whopping 821 yards and five touchdowns. Green Bay’s main man could manage just 247 rushing yards however, he did claim four rushing touchdowns, just one fewer than the mighty former Louisville Cardinal.

NEBRASKA
2023 Sep 9 (Sat) – We packed up and left North Platte at 9:30 a.m. The drive was over flat and expansive lands. We are staying at the Double Nickel Campground in Waco, NE. Who knew Nebraska had a Waco? The campground is very nice. It is gated and the clerk led us to our sites. They have a pool, lots of games, trees and grass.
After set up, Beth & Marlin and we drove to Milligan to see the Czech Brewfest. It is their 3rd annual brewfest and featured Czech music, dance and food. We had a meal at the Legion that consisted of pork, dumpling, sauerkraut, and green beans. The pork was delicious. The dumpling was awful. The kraut was very vinegar-y. We enjoyed the music and costumes. A group of students from the school danced to various songs. I love to see the children carrying on traditions.
When we got back, Dot was not feeling well (still). We set up the projector and screen and Paul played the Alaska slide show for us. It was good.
2023 Sep 8 (Fri) – Dot and I went to the hair dresser this morning to get our hair cut. After we got back to the campground, we got the guys and drove to the Golden Spike Tower and Visitor Center. It overlooked the Baily Yard, a massive train depot that covers over 2,800 acres and reaches a total length of 8 miles. It is the largest railroad classification yard in the world. The yard processes 10,000 railroad cars every day. More than 3,000 are sorted at the “hump.” This is a raised mound where a train car is sent over and it rolls slowly down the hill to where it is sorted according to its final destination. The yard has two sides – eastbound and westbound – with a total of 18 receiving and 16 departing tracks. The main engineer sits in a booth and builds trains, sending them to the different tracks. The train cars couple automatically when they connect, eliminating the need for any person to do that job. There were hundreds of cars spread over the yard with a collection of engines in one corner that numbered well into 50. It was a massive operation that was very interesting. They also have a diesel repair shop in the yard. The Baily Yard has been entered into the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s largest railroad yard.
Following our exploration of the railroad operation, we drove to Buffalo Bill’s Ranch. William Cody was quite the showman. He brought the wild west to audiences all over the world. His ranch looked more like a mansion and was on an estate that spread over several acres. His home is located on state park grounds. The original property had 2 barns, an ice house, a cob barn, and many other buildings. Most of the buildings burned down in a prairie fire in 1904 and were never rebuilt. The house had 3 stories. The back part was an add-on. The Cody’s had 4 children; 2 died in childhood of scarlet fever. There was also a herd of bison on the ranch but we didn’t get to see them. It is ironic that he made the buffalo a world wide concern when he got his name from killing buffalo for workers when they were constructing the railroad across the west. Bill Cody killed more than 4,200 buffalo in an 8-month period and earned the nickname Buffalo Bill.
We enjoyed lunch at Pals Brewing Company. They had unbreaded cheese curds. Basically, they put cheddar cheese curds under the broiler and semi-melted them. They were tasty. Then we had a cheeseburger quesadilla. It had ground beef, cheese and pickles on it. This came with a secret sauce that tasted a lot like pickles. They must have used pickle juice in the making of it.
2023 Sep 7 (Thu) – We packed up and left Cheyenne, WY, at 9:30 a.m. It was a little over 180 miles to North Platte, NE. We are staying at the I-80 Lakeside Campground. It is right off the interstate with a small lake for fishing and boating with a nearby river feeding the lake. The campsites are all in a line in pull-thru sites. We have full hookups. The temperature is in high 80s/low 90s. It is a blaring heat.
