Nature can be beautiful sometimes after all!

I just got done saying that any new nature we discovered was all horrible, when an astute reader (and, only slightly less important, my wife) sent me this link which introduced me to the beautiful pink katydid:

Turns out those little guys don’t last very long…pink isn’t quite as camouflaging as green. But, I’m sure that the last thing a bird thinks before gobbling it up is, “Hmm, that is quite beautiful.”

So color me wrong, there is at least one non-horrible thing out there in nature. (Not horrible for me, that is, but kind of horrible for the poor, pink, and easily eaten katydid…)
