An eleven-year-old boy discovered this Pink adult female grasshopper while on a nature trail in England. At first, he thought it was a pretty flower. Then, it moved!
Grasshoppers of different colors, including Pink, have been seen before. It's a mutation. What makes this particular grasshopper so rare is the intensity of the Pink, according to a nature reserves officer in Britain.

Very pretty color, however it is still an Orthoptera, insect! (My husband loves bugs. Ick.)

Wow! This critter looks amazing. I always thought grasshoppers come in shades of green. You learn something new everyday.

That's amazing! I had no idea grasshoppers came in different colors.
I am scared of grasshoppers because you never know where they are going to hop.
I would have to say that this one is sort of pretty, still wouldn't want it hopping on me.

Pink grasshoppers! Who would have guessed?!
Happy Pink Saturday, Sally.
Hi Sally, I have never seen a pink grasshopper. How neat is that. I like it a lot better than the greenish brown we have in our area. Thank you for sharing.
I guess even a grasshopper looks better in pink...UGH
Happy PInk Saturday and please forgive my tardiness, Char
