Boy Finds Rare Pink Grasshopper in Britain
What looked like a flower
turned out to be a surprising find – a common green grasshopper that had been born pink.
11-year-old Daniel Tate was attending a wildlife event at Seaton Marshes, near Sidmouth, Devon when he spotted the rare insect.
While adult male green grasshoppers are nearly always green, females can come in a rainbow of shades, usually in the brown or purple color families.
