*texokie goes into the LexiQon office and begins her researches by looking at her Comments page - reviews the Cats PJ’s 1133. Sits up straight and pads down the hall to find her*

Been re-reading your Hannible post, 1133, Cats PJs, and reviewing in my mind the story of “Silence of the Lambs.”

The dime just dropped, and I realize that now we know several reasons why that sick piece of human debris portrayed in that book and movie used the death moth. I never “got” the evil logic regarding the use of the killer. In addition to it being a specific moth, it looks like a butterfly.

* Name of the specific Moth invokes thught/image of death, “Death Head”
* Is a reminder of Death and Resurrection symbology of the butterfly -Butterflies are legitimately used as a Christian resurrection symbol which has been perverted by satanists - (fake resurrection with stolen blood rather than the Blood of the Risen Christ - adrenochrome, anyone?)
2. Butterfly/Moth - Pedo love symbol
3. Moth in the mouth - “Shushing” symbol - death if secrets spoken

As Q says, the symbols will be their downfall.

*texokie turns around after being comforted by Cats PJs and other FReeQs, bypasses the LexiQon office again, and finds her way back to the quiet room*

Death’s-head hawkmoth

The name death’s-head hawkmoth refers to any one of the three moth species of the genus Acherontia. The former species is found primarily in Europe, 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. All three species are fairly similar in size, coloration, and life cycle....

[texokie note: Several other authors have used this moth in their work, including Edgar Allen Poe.]

Definitely a very creepy moth....

I hated that movie, or maybe the subject of the movies. Old houses, Dark brick basements. Too much like the farm house I grew up in.

Ugh.
