A "Pink" Meadow Grasshopper (Chorthippus parallelusax)

A "pink" Meadow Grasshopper. Here is an extract from the National Geographic for a Meadow Grasshopper (Chorthippus parallelusax), which states "It is called erythrism an unusual and little-understood genetic mutation caused by a recessive gene similar to that which affects albino animals. This mutation results in one of two things happening or even a combination of the two; a reduction or even absence of the normal pigment and/or the excessive production of other pigments, in this case red which results in pink morphs".
