One of our Cadillac viewers, Teresa, sent us some pictures of pink grasshoppers her 8-year-old daughter Skyler found.
It’s supposedly due to a genetic mutation that affects their pigment called erythrism, similar to albinism.
We think they’re so cool! We want to know if you’ve ever seen one before.
If you have, send us your pictures here.
