Oblong-winged Katydid (Amblycorypha oblongifolia)Observer
jhartg44Description
At the back edge of the meadow area.
Eating leaves on a blackberry plant.
The color is due to erythism, a genetically inherited condition that causes odd color morphs, such as yellow and pink.

Green-striped Grasshopper (Chortophaga viridifasciata)Observer
jhartg44Description
Found at the edge of the meadow.
When I tried for more photo angles, it flew away, so probably an adult.
One reference suggested:
"This pink colouration is caused by a genetic mutation called erythrism, which is similar to albinism, but rarer. The genetic mutation is little understood and is caused by a recessive gene. The mutation results in one of two things happening, or even a combination of the two. There is a reduction, or even absence, of the normal pigment and/or the excessive production of other pigments, in this case red, which results in pink and purple morphs."

Thione championiObserver
eickwortDescription
Length 4.6 mm. Multiple specimens collected from bark and wood galleries (except for one that I found walking on the bark surface) in a dead hickory - I suspect that they were originally Euplatypus compositus galleries, but I'm not certain. I've shared the samples with coleopterists at FDACS-DPI, and gotten in touch with Tommy McElrath at the University of Illinois, who studies this group.

Inaturalist is only really suggesting mantisfly, but it doesn't look that similar to me. It may just be a mosquito. The wings were transparent, and it was mostly brown with orange legs.
