I extend my hand like a mob boss and allow you to kiss my ring but when you lean closer you see it's one of those glo-in-the-dark spider rings you win at arcades

Derbid Planthopper (Rhotana sp., Rhotanini, Derbidae) These tiny planthoppers are included in a complex of arthropods who, by virtue of their wing markings and postures, are believed to be mimicking Salticidae jumping spiders (below). by Sinobug (itchydogimages) on Flickr.

a mysterious and handsome moth showed up at the light last night & wouldn’t stop wiggling its feet!

a little searching turned up the species Lepidotarphius perornatella. it’s probably of East Asian origin, but established in small parts of the US where it feeds on reed-like Acorus (not sure if it eats the native one or only the introduced species).

I think the spots and tapping legs might be some sort of jumping spider mimicry, since they resemble salticid eyes and palps.

Wow, this totally looks like an insect infected with pathogenic fungus!

For comparison, check out this moth infected with Akanthomyces tuberculatus by Nico Blüthgen:

It would be so cool if the beetle evolved its fuzz to look unappealingly fungusy to predators!
