That is the moth off of "The Silence of the Lambs", which is the best movie ever made. I know that the latin and proper term is echerontius styx or echarontius styx. However you spell it. But what does it look like? Where can I find some pictures?

The head of Death is right at the top of the moth, I actually have one right now. It's still a caterpillar, buried itself under some soil. It stays and cuccoons for about 2 or 3 weeks until it's ready to fly and search for nectar and honey to eat, they're very cool:)

yes, you're right.  i saw one site saying it is a Greek or Latin word meaning "virgin."  \n\nthen i saw another site for Ancient Greek translations, saying it means untouchable, unblemished, uninjured, and/or intact.

Sounds like a Luna moth. When it comes out of the cocoon is sole purpose is to mate..It will not even have a mouth. The wings will be very brittle for a few hours.\n\nhttp://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=luna%20moth&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi\n\nhttp://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=luna+moth+cocoon

The devil and I thought we'd go watch the passion of crist. Is it me or is he hung up on him or what? Any way, after the movie we are going for a walk along the river styx, he says it's beautiful this time of year.

Sorry...I was thinking of the wrong music...the part you are asking about is either\nfrom the movie "Constantine", "End of Days", or original music by James Michael Dooley.  Check out the link below for more help.  It is PROBABLY the constantine piece since that piece is in the teaser and the regular trailer.\n\nhttp://www.soundtrack.net/trailers/?cid=D&id=1651

Well, I would have said it was Latin, but there are no 'y's to speak of in the language, or none in the older languague. 'sanguinoru' and 'crushuru' aren't words that I can find anywhere, and 'sh' sounds aren't generally anywhere but proper names and such. I would have to say to check in newer Latin (because you know the Pope needs Latin words for things in modern times) for those words. Also, when you type this into the translation program, I'd try putting an 's' on crushuru and sanguinoru. ( 'u' endings are uncommon sorta.) \n\n'Excesivus' = excessive, 'no' could = I swim or float, 'ex'= out , 'suro'= closest thing I could find is a native of Syria, 'toto'= total/whole/complete and 'maximus'= greatest/biggest. Hope it helped and good luck!

Silence of the Lambs\n\nDr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), Silence of the Lambs, to Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) when she first interviews him (1991). Lecter (spelled “Lechtor”) was also a featured character in Manhunter. The film was adapted from the novel Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris.

Lucifer (light bringer) is almost a direct ripoff of the Titan Prometheus from Greco-Roman mythology. Prometheus created humans in an idle moment, and really pissed off the gods by giving them fire (knowledge) and got "cast down" (chained to a rock with an eagle nibbling his liver) for his naughtiness. Only major difference is they removed the creation myth tie in.\n\nRemind you of any stories involving a garden and an apple?\n\nWake up folks, even their book states that knowledge is the worst enemy christans ever had. Right in the beginning no less...

It's impossible to identify the worm from that description.  There are a number of options.\n\nHowever, my best guess is that it is a horsehair worm.  Horsehair worms are rather fascinating creatures, possibly responsible for inspiring the film "Alien".  Adult worms live in water where they lay their eggs.  The eggs hatch into larvae, who make their way to an appropriate place to be eaten!  Once an insect (usually a grasshopper or a relative, such as cockroaches) eats them, they crawl out of it's digestive system and live in it's abdomen, growing every larger.  When they become adults, they secrete a chemical, causing the insect to get very thirsty.  It rushes to the nearest body of water, where the horsehair worm tears it's way out of the insects stomach and into the water, where it looks for another horsehair worm so it can start the whole process over again.

Well the latin name Hemiptera mean "half-wing", that is because the majority of the representatives in the sub order Heteroptera actually have a thickened membranous portion at the basal half of the wing and a membranous textured section at the apical half.\nNow the term BUG is only a common name, and it is given to any inset that has the modified mouthpart called a stylet. This is a hardened "beak" thtat allows this diverse group to pierce into plant and animal tissues (mostly other insects). It is this haustellate mouthpart assembly that really charaterises the order, but the common name is most likely like all the others, just made up with no real meaning. Look at words like dragonfly, mayfly, cockroach, things like that that actually dont have any true reflection on the insect itself, they are simply common names that laymen can use to easily identify those orders of insects.\nThere are three distinct sub-orders within the Hemiptera, well actually 4 but three very major ones, these are the Heteroptera "true bugs", the Auchenorryncha, which includes the cicadas, tree hoppers and leafhoppers, and the Sternorryncha, which includes the scale insects, aphids, and mealy bugs.\nall three sub orders are called bugs, very loosely.\n\nhere is an image of some true bugs, they all have the piercing sucking stylet I mentioned earlier:\n\nhttp://bugguide.net/node/view/44005\nhttp://bugguide.net/node/view/36112\n\ncheck out the stylet on this guy!\nhttp://bugguide.net/node/view/63287\nhttp://bugguide.net/node/view/33426

It looks like French because of the -er ending but spelling must be wrong. Isn't it "foncer" or "pioncer" ?\n\nPlease give it once more in its context.

Vin is latin and means victorious.\nyou could use Vinci, but it almost sounds like 'finch-ee'.

This is off Harry Potter right??\n\nOh, I used to know this. \n\nThere is no difference between monkwood and a wolf's fang. *duh*\nIt is the same plant that goes by the name of aconite.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYay!!! I remember now!!!

My great-aunt once wrote an entire book about Greek mythology in a sort of story-telling form. It was a very informative book, and it helped me stay aware of Greek and Roman references more often. People (including me) often speak of the weather as being "hotter than Hades" as a more polite way of saying "hotter than hell." Hades was the Greek god of the underworld, which would be compared to a Christian concept of hell. Companies still use these references even today in shoes (like Nike), sporting equipment, technological equipment, flowers (think FTD Florist using Hermes as their symbol), and cleaning supplies (think Ajax). As an English major, I wrote at least two poems with mythological references. I love the musical "My Fair Lady" which is related to "Pygmalion" and the old myth of the man who created his ideal woman. If you watch Disney's "Monsters Inc." there is one part where the little one-eyed monster Mike is contemplating how to smuggle the little girl Boo back into the company, and he uses a Greek reference to the Trojan horse, but dismisses it as "Too Greek!" Children would probably not understand what he said, but those of us who have studied mythology would. I do not use mythology as a replacement for religion, but it helps to understand historical references and symbolism around us.

"oculus sinister." Latin for "left eye."\n"oculus dexter" which is Latin for the right eye.\n\nGood question. Hope you like the answer.
