Bug report is to report problems with using iNat.

Bug as an insect is simply an iNat observation, not for the Forum.

Well, this sure is a bug report if I’ve ever seen one. :joy:

Cool find!

Also the coolest looking katydid I’ve ever seen - I didn’t know they came in pink!

but yes, please do post it to the regular iNaturalist site. I suspect you’ll have a bunch of confirming IDs quickly.

Not a bug. Bugs are in the order Hemiptera; katydids are Orthoptera.
