Pink Gropper

Pink gropper

A photo of a pink grasshopper perched on two crossed blades of grass.

Have you ever seen a pink grasshopper? Though the meadow grasshopper (Chorthippus parallelus) is typically distinguished by its green and brown coloration, a genetic mutation called erythrism leaves some individuals looking pretty in pink! Erythrism is the overproduction of red pigment. While these rare insects are beautiful to look at, pink grasshoppers are hindered by their vivid coloring because it makes hiding from predators much more difficult.

Very cool!

Did y’all know I love TMA too?? I’ve had the Magnus Protocol brainworms since listening to it earlier so here’s my (very subject to change) designs for Alice and Sam until the fandom agrees on something 🫡

Bonus ‘Chester’ and ‘Norris’ doodle in the corner 👁️
