Very cool. Great find. I have seen pictures before. This is a nice documentary shot. Well done.

BTW - when was this shot? This is way too large for this time of year for them.

Certainly a new one on me - day glow pink! Fine capture.

I just looked them up on the web - the pink form was first described in the late 19thC. Pretty wild-looking bug!
