The discovery of a pink cricket-Euconocephalus thunbergi by our staff member Inamoto at Keihanna Commemorative Park was featured in the Mainichi Shimbun. This rare color was thought to have caused by the lack of some pigment, which was discovered in "Suikei-en" area of the Keihanna on 17th July. This rare insect is displayed at the Visitor Center. TV Asahi "Super J Channel" also featured this discovery on November 8 and aired that the colorful cricket is popular especially among children.
