A PINK grasshopper?! It's so beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Thankyou Beth he/she was a beautifull surprise :-)
The fourth picture in the series is my favorite! This is a lovely spotting :)
Thankyou Martin :-)
i have tried to find some info as i have never seen a pink one b4... Apparently the pink color is the result of a condition called erythrism, similar to a recessive gene that afflicts albino animals..
This katydid is a rare pink color variation of the green katydid.It is a nymph (young) and will develop wings when it matureshttp://teddyhilton.com/2012-03-09-this-i...
