Rare pink grasshopper staring into the camera A RARE PINK grasshopper has been snapped staring directly into the camera lens. STUNNING images show the cute critter with a striking pink colour balanced on a blade of grass, a leaf and the photographer's jacket in North Holland, Netherlands. Grasshoppers are generally green or brown in colour and, on rare occasions, turn pink because of a genetic mutation. The bright colour transformation means they are unable to hide from predators making their survival difficult. Some experts say people have only a one per cent chance of encountering these rare insects. These unique images were captured by Roeselien Raimond (51), a wildlife photographer from Gouda. “I felt as if I had discovered a pink elephant,” she told mediadrumworld.com. “I had heard that something like a pink grasshopper existed, but also that the chance of finding one was one in a million. “So when I finally found one, I thought this must be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. “The grasshoppers in these photos are so-called ‘nymphs’, grasshoppers in their first life stage. “They are incredibly small, less than a centimetre, which makes photographing them quite a challenge. “Moreover, as their name suggests, they like to hop away and although you would think that they are easy to find with this colour, you will quickly lose them. “You are looking through a macro lens and if they jump out of your frame, they can hide behind every blade of grass. “The chance to encounter a pink grasshopper seemed negligible to me and yet I was able to find one. “Plus, pink is my favourite colour.” ENDs
