what color is grass
There is, in fact, at least one species of Gramineae to reflect each and every single wavelength of light distinguishable to the human eye. Thus, grass is every color. Grass was first classified by Roy Gerardi Biv himself though, who was of course colorblind. Hence his name for it, the "Grey-Ass" plant, or "Grass."

Moth of the Week
Drinker
Euthrix potatoria
Tumblr media
The drinker moth is of the family Lasiocampidae. It was described and named in 1758 by Carl Linneaus. Linneaus chose the species name potatoria as it means ‘drinker-like.’ Dutch entomologist Johannes Goedaert had previously called the moth dronckaerdt, meaning ‘drunkard,’ “because it is very much inclined to drinking” or because this moth repeatedly puts its head into water. The common name ‘drinker’ comes from the same reason.
Description This moth is distinguishable from other eggar moths by a diagonal line crossing the forewing and two white spots also on the forewing. Males are usually reddish or orangish-brown with yellow patches. Males in East Anglia are often yellowish. Females can be yellow, a pale buff, whitish, or a darker reddish-brown than the males. Male and females also differ in size and antennae shape: females are slight larger than males, and males have fluffier antennae.
Wingspan Range of Fully Grown Drinker: 45–65 mm (≈1.77 - 2.56 in)
Diet and Habitat The caterpillars of this species feed on grasses and reeds in genuses such as Alopecurus, Deschampsia, Dactylis, Elytrigia, Carex, Luzula, and other Gramineae. A few examples are Cat grass (Dactylis glomeratus), Common Reed (Phragmites australis), Reed Canary-grass (Phalaris arundinacea), and Wood Small-reed (Calamagrostis epigejos).
In the spring, they feed mainly at night and can be found resting on low vegetation during the day. The larva also supposedly drink morning dew because it had been observed to repeatedly put its head in water.
This moth can be found in Europe. It is common throughout England and Ireland but tends to favor western Scotland over eastern Scotland. It prefers habitats of marshy places such as fens, riversides, tall and damp grassland, marshes, damp open woodland, scrub, and ditches. However this species does sometimes live in drier habitats such as grassy terrain and urban gardens.
Mating Adults can been seen between July and August and presumably mate during this time. There is only one generation per year. Eggs are laid mainly on the stems of grasses or reeds in small clusters.
Predators Adult moths fly at night and are presumably preyed on by nocturnal predators such as bats.
Fun Fact Both sexes of the drinker moth are attracted to light, but males are especially susceptible.

Not a snake, but can Abronia graminea / Mexican alligator lizards actually be blue?
Most photos I’ve seen are green and the blue feels so photoshopped
They can indeed be blue, but it's more of a blue/green - the pictures where they're a super vibrant blue are photoshopped.
Here's an authentic photo courtesy of the Smithsonian:

TGC (and Ty) are the only reason that stinking wet rat has fans. Anyone else and that's barely a fun character
Poaceae or Gramineae is a large and nearly ubiquitous family of monocotyledonous flowering plants commonly known as grasses. It includes the cereal grasses, bamboos and the grasses of natural grassland and species cultivated in lawns and pasture. The latter are commonly referred to collectively as grass.
Touch it.
