Katydid Pink

I feel compelled to make up for my parasite post yesterday. Consider this a peace offering. Nothing terribly ugly about katydids (though being an insect is one strike against them), but these ones have caught the attention of the Bleimans over at Zooillogix, and now I bring them to you. Thanks to Vincent for alerting me of their presence.






















An interesting note about katydids (who have just joined my daughters' imaginary tea party, along with the shocking pink dragon millipede, the pink fairy armadillo, and the pink iguana): there is no evidence that two pink katydids can mate and have offspring. Our records show that pink katydids come from a pink female and a green male. Hmm, there might be something behind the whole Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog love affair...
