I helped my friend Emilio write a paper about venomous caterpillars in the United States. A field identification guide to Megalopygidae is provided in the appendix. 🦋

my three librarians: Traube, Kellsten, and Trosia! i just find it highly comedic to not only put an aether in a library, but to put it in a library with its flight siblings

Anyways Valentino is Trosia nigropunctigera dont @ me

[gabrielsbubblegumbitch]

any more headcanons about valentino’s death/past life??

Of course ~

I like to think that his life on Earth mirrored his afterlife, but with a greater emphasis on drug trafficking and gang activities rather than pimping and porn production (According to my hc he was also more a true mobster in Hell before ascending to the status of an overlord. Once he achieved a certain level of power that assured him relative safety, he became kinda lazy and spoiled, allowing Vox to undertake most of the strategic planning so he could revel in endless parties).

Valentino kick-started his criminal career in Colombia* simply being a beast of man, so strong he could take almost anyone in the hand to hand combat. This prowess caught the attention of a local cartel, which hired him as an bruiser. From there, he began to climb. He wasn't the brightest, but that didn't really matter—he was smart about who he hung out with, and he was both ruthless and intimidating. His bold moves early on helped him get a leg up on the competition. Kidnapping a government official's daughter for ransom money to buy coca leaves from Peru, turning them into cocaine, and then smuggling it into the U.S. while paying off the narcs? Or getting into gun-running for paramilitaries without any experience? Only a madman would try that, and lucky for him, he was just that. This helped Valentino make a name for himself as a local kingpin. Not on Escobar's level, but definitely someone.

I think he operated a bit like the Joker (at least some versions of Joker) - not particularly intelligent, not charismatic (in Colombia in the 70s, his queerness was probably not well-received) but brutal and so unhinged that no one dared to question him because they were so grappled by his chaotic nature. People followed him because they believed there was a method to this madness — after all, he did manage to succeed in what he did. However, this formula started to wear off after a while. As he grew more powerful, his mistakes became more costly. His associates started to get tired of too many risky operations and the uncertainty when they had a stable position in the market, and the only thing putting it at risk was Val's insatiable hunger for adrenaline. Especially since the climate changed rapidly with the introduction of the War on Drugs by the US. So, one day, Valentino's lieutenants decided they’d had enough of playing his risky games and just Caesared him. They spiked his drink, bagged him, took him to the jungle, and unloaded like 30 bullets into him. That's also why, after death, he became obsessed with loyalty — he expects his colleagues to be ride or die for him and doesn't tolerate anything less.

*did you know that there's this moth living in South America called Trosia nigropunctigera? I bet my ass Val's design is at least partially based on it

fursona notes, why not:

Trosia Zaleska, vampire mothgirl, bc obviously heavy white hooded cloak w red accents, somewhere between her namesake genus and the classic final fantasy white mage outfit. cloak underside is black, with big red eyespots she can use for classic vampire hypnosis shenanigans long thin black feathery antennae usually swept back over her hood probably wears a humanoid face glamor? wan & slouched & sunken-eyed & with a thin smile. the antennae are the only visible insectile part in glamored form, with the midlimbs and abdomen concealed under the robe. abdomen has a series of pink segments not unlike those on the privet hawk moth. these deepen into red and swell up a bit when Trosia has fed. unglamored, her face has big black compound eyes and a long curled proboscis for bloodsucking. she is very good at healing as only someone intimately familiar with blood could be. i don't even know who amy dallon is, btw. at some point she needs to levitate alarmingly fast down a darkened hallway with a dolly zoom because what's the point of being a vampire mothgirl if you're not going to do the Puparia thing.

Cookie Run Oc dump time :3c

First up is Rosy Ermine Moth Cookie!

They're based on the Trosia Nigropunctigera moth, but obviously if I went with that name for them that'd be a mouthful so I went for the alternate name of it for them.

They're a shy little fella and not really sure how to make friends, mainly due to the fact they were homeschooled for most of their life.

Now since we have yet to get any moth Cookie Run characters as far as I'm aware, I can be as creative as I want to be for them, which I'm saving for a post later today. (⁠๑⁠•⁠﹏⁠•⁠)

Next is this old gal, Peanut Brittle Cookie!

Now Peanut Brittle is actually based on a post I made a while back (I think when Rockstar and Shining Glitter were released in Kingdom?) where I talked about us having a douchebag healer and another female healer, considering (as of the time this post is made) Carol is the only one.

But anyways, Peanut Brittle is a retired nurse who can absolutely kick ass if she wants to. Now she isn't a douchebag per say, she just asks like one whenever someone doesn't cooperate with her. And can you blame her? She's, like I mentioned before, a old gal! (She's in her late 40s)

Last but definitely not least, Ancient Naga Cookie!

Ancient Naga is actually one of my older Cookie Run Oc, who I've only draw digitally once. 😅 I thought it needed a new look. (Redesign is on the left, old design is on the right.)

Ancient Naga wasn't actually originally a Cookie. They were actually just a regular (albeit bitchy) snake that just one day "grew" a Cookie body. Now it live in a place that's overrun by snakes, acting like their ruler. The "Ancient" part of their name comes from the fact it's rumoured they've been around since the Ancients (yes those Ancients) got their Souljams.

“Trosia nigropunctigera, I think. If not, it is another Trosia sp. I've seen it many times in trips to Costa Rica but this was the only time I was able to get a good pic with hind wings visible. Near Tuis, Costa Rica, May 2018.” -Frank DiStefano

Moth!! Specifically a rosy ermine moth!!
