Although initially, they wanted to put the family's last name, they told us that their last name was originally Italian, but that when they migrated to the US, they lost some letters and their composition. For this reason, Gina, the mother was the one who chose the name "solis ocasus", besides that the colors of the moth reminded her of the sunset, finally remaining as Evius ocassus. Thanks, Gina, Giovanna, and Michael De Loia
