Insects
typically do not stand out. Something to do with being their one way ticket to
certain extinction, generally. Facts that just add to the mystique of the
extremely rare pink katydid, what is maybe strangest about this species is
where they are turning up; the mass of pink katydid images are attributed to
the most un-tropical places such as Osaka and the American Midwest. Speculation
is that their odd color is caused by the genetic condition erythrism, which
denotes an unusual red pigmentation.
