Th attached photographs show an acridiid found in southern Poland (vicinity of Nowy Targ) - is it sme strange exotic species? or a variety of something common? or what?
I met them in our Stavropol Territory. This is not interesting from the position of taxonomy. Such morphs can be found in different species. This is a mutation
The pink insect gets its unique color combination due to a phenomenon known as erythrism, which causes albino animals to appear.
Instead of a complete loss of pigmentation, the normal pigment is replaced with a red tint. In humans, erythrism manifests itself in the presence of red hair and freckles. In animals, this affects the color of fur, feathers and eggshells. Some insects at high altitudes can exhibit melanism, a genetic mechanism that darkens pigmentation to absorb more solar radiation and heat up faster.
