Mr. Bugman,
I found this pink katydid Okalaloacoochee Slough State Forest in Hendry County Florida. I’ve never run into a pink one, and I thought I’d share it with you folks.

Hi Steve,
Great photo. We have always wondered about a plate with a pink katydid in our old Lutz Field Book. Lutz writes that Amblycorpha oblongifolia is usually green, but that “it and many other green insects have brown or pink sports.” This is a first for us as well. We will write to Eric Eaton to see if he can add anything. He may request that we post the image on BugGuide if you don’t mind.
