It has taken me 4 weeks to find out that what I have been calling a pink grasshopper is really a pink katydid. We live in Lousiana on 40 acreas surrounded by piney woods. My son found what we called a pink grasshopper on one of our food plots we plant for the deer. The food plot has red rover, so we thought the plant had something to do with the reason the grasshopper was pink. I even emailed a scientist to see if they had ever seen a pink grasshopper. While emailing it to this scientist, I emailed it to all my email contacts. 4 weeks later, after my contacts sent the pictures to their contacts, and so on and so on, someone from Texas wrote back to tell me it was a pink katydid, which is how I found your site.
We have just watched her shed her skin to become an adult katydid. I took pictures right after she finished sheding. I didn't take pictures while she was shedding because I thought that she was dying.
