Prince Sapphire in her late 19th-century undergarments lifting her ponytail up to show a white death's-head mark between her shoulder blades.

Since Prince Sapphire has an X over her eye like Vaggie, I thought that maybe I would have her animal be a death's-head hawkmoth.

Art of a death's-head moth from November 1 of 2013. The moth appears to fly toward the top-left of the canvas (cardstock.) Colours are mostly yellows, oranges, and tans, with some blues and purples to create contrast; the background is white. On the right portion of the art, there are dotted-swirls and leafy patterns incorporated into the hind- and forewings, and flowing off of the page to the right.

Fall-ish death's-head from November 1, 2013.

A full body digital illustration of my OC, Phaedra, drawn by me. She’s a very humanoid death’s-head hawkmoth themed character. She has short orange hair, with short bangs, blue eyes with black scleras and red pupils. She has a smile on her face, and she’s wearing a short yellow mantle, a plain brown dress, long boots with fluff at the tops, and long gloves covering her whole arms with three “spikes” on the back, mimicking insect legs. She also has Death’s-head hawkmoth wings, antennae, and fluff around her neck, like a moth, with a cartoonish skull in the middle of it.

Phaedra’s new design! (More in replies)

HUGE death’s-head hawkmoth caterpillar! This colourful fella appeared on our steps yesterday afternoon. Never seen a caterpillar that big — a good 5 inches long. Big thanks to Feargal for capturing the video!

Intricately cut, hauntingly beautiful. My paper-cut Death's-head hawkmoth lands at Poppycock Tattoo's Cabinet of Curiosities show this weekend! You need to see the detail in person.

Once again in my life I'm brought to a place where I must remember that death is inevitable, but with it comes the promise of new life and rebirth. Memento Mori 🖤

What do you think of this design placement? The hawkmoth was too wide to fit two as I usually do, so I put it opposite the handle instead. Swipe to see it from other angles and tell me what you think.

2nd instar caterpillar. There are prominent stripes starting to appear diagonally down the green body.

1st instar larva. Most features are indistinguishable except for the prominent horn at the rear and prolegs.

So it's now day 10.
Of the 10 eggs that I had, 2 have not hatched (and I doubt they will), 4 died soon after hatching, 2 are still 1st instar caterpillars and 2 are easily double the size and I suspect already at the 2nd instar.

Day 1.
Oooh. I've got 3 hatchlings already!
The eggs were mostly transparent yesterday with a couple of opaque ones that were close to hatching. The remaining eggs have become opaque today. The L1 larvae are about 4mm in length.
