Making the beast with one back and one front, possibly necrophiliac

Nowadays I rarely hear the grasshoppers, as a child I heard them a lot, but now it is kind of extremely rare to hear them. I don't specifically know why, whether it's because there are too few suitable green areas in my area or something else entirely.

Have you ever seen a pink grasshopper? A genetic mutation called erythrism (the overproduction of red pigment) leaves some individuals looking pretty in pink! Though these rare insects are beautiful, their vivid coloring makes hiding from predators much more difficult.
