Acrididae, Oedipodinae, genus Trimerotropis
Small (1/2 inch), bright pink grasshopper nymph. The unusual color morph is caused by a recessive gene similar to the one that causes albinism.
Found on a dry hillside in Curecanti National Recreation Area, Colorado.
thanks to bayucca for the ID
Acrididae, Oedipodinae, probably Trimerotropis sp. as my best guess.
