The skull pattern on the back of the famous Death's-head Hawkmoth is actually made of naked women.

Film/Series: The Silence of the Lambs

Category: Easter Egg

The iconic promotional poster for the film features a moth resting over Jodie Foster's mouth. If you magnify the white skull pattern on the insect's thorax, it is not a natural design at all. It is a direct reproduction of Salvador Dalí and Philippe Halsman's 1951 surrealist photography piece "In Voluptas Mors," which depicts seven nude women contorted into the shape of a human skull. This subliminally highlights the film's dark themes of female victims and twisted physical transformations.
