Meadow Grasshopper (F) (Barry's)
Grasshoppers are usually green, brown or a combination of the two, so they can blend into their background. The pink insect owes its colour to a rare genetic mutation called erythrism - similar to albinism. ... This produces a bizarre pink colour that is extremely rare in the wild
