Somerset woman finds rare pink grasshoppers in garden
A woman said she was very excited to find rare pink grasshopper babies in her garden.
Natasha Welch from Shepton Mallet took photographs of the insects and sent them to the Somerset Wildlife Trust, which explained that the colour is caused by a genetic mutation.
Usually, the bright pink bugs are eaten by birds due to their inability to camouflage, making them a "once-in-a-lifetime find", the trust added.

That's a real life shiny pokemon.
Whilst easily explained, I do think timing with Pride week is just beautifully timed.
It's a full month! Though if you're a pink grasshopper, one week might be the longest unit of time you'll ever see....
After the frogs, they turning even grasshoppers gay??!!
I prefer my grasshoppers well done.
That’s what happens when you live in a fantasy city
