grasshopper

Description:

I couldn't find the common name for it in English.. Pink isn't its natural colour, but I recently read an article about pink grasshoppers - "it is called erythrism an unusual and little-understood genetic mutation caused by a recessive gene similar to that which affects albino animals. " So it was very interesting to finally found out why the grasshopper was pink! :) (By the way - in the picture it's not a fully grown grasshopper, only a baby - nymph).
