Recognize this from "Silence of the Lambs?" Maybe the lambs are silent, but this moth isn't! The death's head moth is able to create a squeak by vibrating its epipharynx.

It's the headless horseman!

Mantids are known to eat their mate's head, but it only occurs <30% of the time in the wild. The only benefit is that the male now has no choice but to mate.

Eek! An Ogre!

Deinopidae is a family of spiders called the Ogre faced spiders. Their eyes are so light sensitive, that each dawn their light sensitive membrane is destroyed. They also cast nets to catch prey.

Even bugs enjoy Halloween!

You may find these squash bugs on your Halloween creations. They will inject a toxin into the pumpkin and use their sucking mouthparts to drink it up. How cool is that?!
