We have a bit of a celebrity staying at our house, and hopefully all this attention has not gone to her head. She has even booked a tour, and plans to attend this week's Midwest Native Plant Conference in Dayton. Enjoying her 15 minutes of fame is all well and good, and she seems to enjoy living in a deluxe terrarium style habitat. At least it sure beats dodging hungry birds without aid of camouflage! 
Several visitors arrived today, the Pinkster's good friend Jan Kennedy met up with Erin from the Columbus Dispatch. They are discussing the article about this famous bubblegum pink Katydid that captured everyone's attention.
Seriously, after the press and a few other experts get to examine and photograph her, she will be returned to the wilds where she belongs. However, this has been an incredible opportunity to spark folk's imagination, even the most jaded have to ponder... Why is this katydid pink? All sciences begin with a sense of wonder, and if a pink katydid can awake someone to the world of nature, then perhaps she deserves the celebrity status.
