Standing out isn’t usually an insect’s desired goal. Most insects possess a natural form of camouflage that hides them from predators. This bright pink katydid is a notable exception. While the vibrant color of these extremely rare pink katydids probably isn’t an intentional act of rebellion, their distinctive look certainly exudes a certain mystique. Scientific speculation points towards their unusual color as the result of a genetic condition known as erythrism, which denotes an unusual red pigmentation. Whatever the case, these little pretties are my new favorite insect. References: environmentalgraffitiFiled In: |
