Jame Gumb (known by the nickname "Buffalo Bill") is a fictional character and the main antagonist of Thomas Harris's 1988 novel The Silence of the Lambs and its 1991 film adaptation, in which he is played by Ted Levine. In the film and the novel, he is a serial killer who murders overweight women and skins them so he can make a "woman suit" for himself. In the television series Clarice, he is portrayed by Simon Northwood.

The name ''death's-head hawkmoth'' refers to any of three moth species of the genus Acherontia (Acherontia atropos, Acherontia styx and Acherontia lachesis).

Gumb had long felt he was born the wrong sex and desired sexual reassignment surgery. Gumb started his career as "Buffalo Bill" whereupon he would kidnap overweight women, then starve them before murdering them, which he would fashion their skin into a "woman suit" for him to wear. He also inserts a Death's head moth into the victim's throat because he is fascinated by the insect's metamorphosis, a process that he wants to undergo by becoming a woman. In the case of Gumb's first victim, Fredrica Bimmel, he weighs down her body, so she ends up being the third victim found. In the case of the fourth victim, he shoots her instead of strangling her.

Death's head moths, hawk moths, or sphinx moths, whatever you call them, they are dancing against an orange blood harvest moon. A lovely spooky and symmetrical vision.

Death's Head Hawk Moth

This is an illustration/homage to a horror story of the same name written in 1932 by one of my favorite scary authors, H. Russell Wakefield. A man unwittingly rents a haunted (or cursed?) studio and finds a mysterious, but repellant, sketch of a beautiful woman... ...and you'll have to read the rest to see what happens next!

The name death's-head hawkmoth refers to any of three moth species of the genus Acherontia (Acherontia atropos, Acherontia styx and Acherontia lachesis). The former species is found in Europe and throughout Africa, the latter two are Asian; most uses of the common name refer to the European species. These moths are easily distinguishable by the vaguely human skull-shaped pattern of markings on the thorax. They are large nocturnal moths with brown and yellow or orange coloring, and all three species are fairly similar in size, coloration and life cycle.

This Deathshead Moth design was created by the talented Lorna Laine of the UK. This neotraditional tattoo style artwork looks beautiful and is perfect for alternative fans and for tattoo lovers.

I'm so happy, dancin' while the Grim Reaper Cuts, cuts, cuts But he can't get me I'm as clever as can be, and I'm very quick, but don't forget: We've only got so many tricks No one lives forever! No one beats him at his game For very long, but just the same Who cares; there's no place safe to hide Nowhere to run—no time to cry So celebrate while you still can 'Cause any second, it may end And when it's all been said and done Better that you had some fun! - Oingo Boingo
