Weekly Art Challenge!!!
See if you can make art for each moth!!

Andy turns 40 at some point this year! All I want for my birthday is people to go real hard on celebrating MOTHS. Our friend, Weng, put together a list of species of cool moths as a challenge for you to make some kind of cool moth art with.

If you want to play along, create some kind of artwork (poem, drawing, game, etc...) about that species each week! Share your art on whatever platform with !

(There're no prizes or whatever, just honor from Moths)

It starts first week of February with the WHITE WITCH!



Note: I do n't re a lly us e In s ta gra m, so just dropping this here! Have fun!

¡Reserva la fecha para la FIESTA MÁS IMPORTANTE DEL AÑO!
**¡Día Internacional del Agutí!**
_¡Sábado 23 de agosto!_
Y como es tradición, celebraremos "Ñeque-OKE", donde cantarás canciones de karaoke, ¡pero todas las palabras estarán relacionadas con Ñeques!
Este año, sin embargo, vamos a lo grande, y El Ñeque Taproom en Obarrio aceptó celebrar Ñeque-OKE. ¡Tienen escenario, instrumentos, pantalla gigante y, lo más importante, tienen temática de Ñeques!
De 6:30 a 9:30 p. m. habrá Ñeque-OKE seguido de una noche grunge de los 90 (¡donde también podrán interpretar canciones grunge de los 90's sobre Ñeques si quieren!).
¡Así que anótenlo en su calendario y protejan este día tan sagrado!

Mothbox Under the Sea!

People often ask what else could the mothbox do? The cool thing about open source science Hardware is that it can be easily remixed and applied to new scientific challenges! Doing Mothbox surveys in Indonesia during Dinacon, led to serendipity where we could quickly see if the mothbox could be used as an undersea monitor for the coral restoration projects at . Turns out it's pretty easy to do!
We need to find tune some things with the camera focusing settings but other than that it's quite easy to adapt it!

While was working on undersea windmills to keep coral cool and running a kite workshop with local kids, he realized he also wanted to fly a kite underwater. He wasn't able to do it in the limited time with us, but fellow Dinasaur: took up the mantle and took amazing photos!

The Pocari Sweater! made a lovely silly project where she mixed pocari sweat with sodium alginate to produce bioplastic noodles. She then knitted these into a tiny sweater and turned herself into a mobile photobooth to let people try on the Pocari Sweater!

The sweater has been worn by many of the elite, including divers of the year, visiting dignitaries, famous chefs, and even dinacon organizers!

ELECTRO-ADHESION! We got it to work!
Sticking bananas to a gallery with tape is so passé, we just use electrons! .alibi and Muffin 's experiments with electro-adhesion work! Passing some super low current through the flesh of a banana after several minutes makes it electrically adhere to metal! And the coolest part is that the process is very reversible! to unstick it you just simply reverse the electrodes and it pops right off! .naturalism.labs
