Working on a major CSS overhaul. The current one is nice, don't get us wrong, but we can do better for readability and we have ideas on how to improve the site visually. Just have to nail down the colors.
Curious- how's the readability of our "light text on dark background" color scheme? Would the site be more readable or comfortable for people if the background were light and the text dark instead, or is it best left as-is?

We're thinking we're going to switch to a light background because after testing, it is more readable. Working on getting colors to look nice now.

there's actually only one that i know of, the feniseca tarquinius/harvester! the large blue butterfly is actually omnivorous, as it feeds on plants in its early life. large blues are actually really fascinating as they're parasites, i recommend reading up on them (a single wikipedia search is enough, it's incredibly interesting)!

There's actually quite a few carnivorous butterflies/moths. This paper is a bit technical, but it's a nice read if you can understand it https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/41142526#page/432/mode/1up

Wrote and finished an article on the pressure to use labels in the plural community.

Also appended an addition about Kaz to the integration article and tweaked our about again.
Removed redundant CSS class.
CSS overhaul- still not perfect, but better. Need to work on the main section's colors to get it to fit in nicely while retaining good contrast.
Also overhauled navigation again.
