Blackburn's Sphynx Moth Women’s V-neck Tee

Meet the goth cousin of the butterfly: The Blackburn's Sphinx Moth.

This isn't your standard boxy tee. This is a soft, relaxed-fit women's V-neck featuring a mesmerizing "kaleidoscope" pattern of Hawaii's largest native insect. While most people obsess over colorful daytime butterflies, this design celebrates the monochromatic beauty of the night shift. It’s elegant, slightly eerie, and scientifically accurate—turning a creature that most people swat away into a piece of wearable art.

This light cotton (52% airlume combed and ring-spun cotton and 48% polyester) blend shirt is perfect for humid evenings, garden strolls, or simply proving that "moth-eaten" can actually mean a really cool design aesthetic.

A portion of every purchase goes to nonprofits working in conservation—because these giant moths need their native trees back, and we need them to keep the night sky wild.

Endangered Stats

• Status: Endangered. In 2000, it became the very first Hawaiian insect to be placed on the Federal Endangered Species List.

• The Lazarus Effect: It was believed to be extinct in the late 1970s, only to be "rediscovered" in 1984 on Maui. It’s a survivor.

• The Size: It is Hawaii's largest native insect, with a wingspan up to 5 inches. It’s basically a small bird.

• The Struggle: Its native host plant, the ‘Aiea tree, is disappearing due to development and logging. The moths are now forced to lay eggs on invasive Tree Tobacco plants, which isn't ideal but keeps them alive.

Perfect For

• Entomologists who know that moths are just butterflies with a goth aesthetic

• Night owls and lovers of the nocturnal world

• Women who prefer a relaxed V-neck over a crew neck (we heard you!)

• Anyone who loves a good "back from the dead" survival story

Wear the rare. Mourn the absurd. Embrace the night, and postpone the myth.
