Solon, I hope you don't mind but I happened to notice this thread and can help with your question. I recommend checking out the Help:Avatars page in Wikia's Community Central. But here's how you do it:
 * First, you'll have to save the image in question to your computer (there is no option to select from images previously uploaded to this Wiki)
 * Where your Wiki avatar appears to the left of your Global Profile on your user pages, hover your cursor over it to make the Edit avatar link appear and then click that link
 * Click on the Upload an avatar button and select the saved image on your computer and click Open to preview the avatar
 * If it looks good to you, click Save, I'm done and it will replace your current Wiki avatar
 * You can also select one of the default avatar options shown instead of uploading one (your current one is one of these)

By cinnabar moth, do you mean the from the Naturalist's Collection? If so, click the link to get to its page and then right click on the moth and select Save picture as to save it to your computer. You may have to play with the image offline if it doesn't look right in the Edit avatar preview. Hope this helps.
