Round Headed Katydid: Pink Form
Hi Chris,
The pink form of the Round Headed Katydids in the genus Amblycorypha is not very common. According to an Eric Eaton comment on BugGuide: “the genus Amblycorypha (roundheaded katydids), the only genus in North America that I am aware of that gets pink or red individuals.“
