Honourary non-moth post: the peanut-head lanternfly
Sometimes mistakenly called the peanut-head moth, these little fellas are part of the order Hemiptera (true bugs) family Fulgoridae (fulgorid planthoppers).
"But why," you may ask, "are they called peanut-heads?" Let me show you.
Goofy fella #1

These ridiculous false heads are shared by both males and females, so it's not a result of sexual selection. It's theorized that it's to avoid them getting their actual heads bitten off, which if you look at a closeup, is behind the false one:
Oh and btw. Even though they're called lanternflies they don't actually glow in the dark. And Costa Ricans believe they're poisonous and if you get bitten by them you have to have sex at least within the next 24 hours, and by some accounts, immediately.
They are distributed across tropical Mexico, Central and South America. And yeah they're just really strange and cool.
Miserably, our dog Louis collapsed and was found to have cancer last Monday, the same day there was an unexpected human death in my immediate family. Louis had a cutting edge new surgery to save his life but needs much more help, and we are out of money.
Please read our story and consider sharing, donating or even lending us some funds that we can return down the line. We really aren't able to deal with the fallout of this crisis in any way right now.
Trying to keep your footprint as low as possible is a great way to self-destruct.
And I'm not saying this to people who take two hour showers during international flights while shoving red meat into their mouth. I'm saying this to my fellow activists who feel conflicted about heating their home on fossil fuels even though they don't have any other options (and struggle to afford it).
Like, we can talk about how 'consumer choice' is never going to save the planet and stuff, but more importantly: You are not a sin. Your basic needs deserve to be met. You deserve to be warm and filled with food that satisfies you and you deserve to see your friends.
We are not fighting to save 'the planet', that's a piece of rock. We want to save ecosystems and plants and animals, including people. You are part of that. Don't leave yourself out of the list of creatures that deserve to thrive.
Aw thanks :)

Why does the whole featured tags organization thing on tumblr work so badly,, like i tried organizing my stuff by tags and when i look up a tag it has posts in it that aren't tagged with that tag??? As an autistic person who lives for organization I'm simply going to spontaneously combust at this point :/

Also to add to this, if you paint with RYB and only have one paint tube for each primary, ur seriously limiting yourself. If you have a cool and a warm version of each primary, u can mix pretty much any colour. This is called colour bias and it literally saved my colour mixing.
To make a long story into a short one: warm blue has more red. Warm yellow also has more red. So when you mix them you're essentially mixing all the primary colours, which creates brown (albeit a very greenish brown). To bypass this problem you can mix cool blue and cool yellow, bc cool yellow has a blue bias and vice versa. So no brown undertone.
I learnt all this after a very frustrated past me decided to google how to paint better green, and i found this article which explains colour bias in more detail:
It's a very interesting read and it's the article that made me go from hating colour theory to liking it, so i highly recommend it :)
