This one’s second-to-last because there’s kind of a generational divide about whether this is a little-known detail or not. Let me explain.
The movie poster for Silence of the Lambs famously features Clarice’s face, with her mouth covered by a moth. It is a death’s head moth, so named because it has what appears to be a skull on its back. It’s the kind of moth that obsesses Buffalo Bill, because, again: total nutcase.
What you may not notice, if you’ve only seen the Silence of the Lambs poster online, is that the skull is made up of naked female bodies. (It’s a nod to the portrait “In Voluptas Mors” by Salvador Dali and Philippe Halsman.)

Just read the books. This conversation never occurred. It was only the thought process she went through in Clarice's mind after she found Lecter's message on the map. The movie needed a vehicle to convey that message to the audience so they used Ardelia Mapp as the voice of her conscience.
