I was trying to be funny.
Ted Levine is the actor that played the deranged killer in 'Silence of the Lambs'. Raised moths.
(plays the police chief in 'Monk' now)

That's REALLY funny. I have a "friend" named Ted who also raises moths!! I don't know his last name....

Believe me, I get assked about those particular moths ALL of the time (THe Death's Head Sphinx - Achertonia atropos.

However, in the movie, due to excessive U.S. regulation, they couldn't use that actual species (our gov't would not let them import them), so they had to use a local moth and use painted "press on nails" to get the proper pattern!
