This katydid really was fluorescent pink. It's not enhanced in any way. The coloration is an adaptation sometimes found among katydids exposed to red or pink foliage, although this one was in the woods off the Appalachian Trail near Mount Peter, N.Y.

Beautiful. Hope you don't mind. I linked this shot on my site. I'll remove it if you want.
Again, nice catch!

Great shot!!!!!!
I took my photo in Michigan. I saw this bug from at least 60 feet away and walked over to it and started taking photos before a crowd came over and kind of pushed me out of the way.
