Is the pink grasshopper on the British river bank caused by genetic mutation?
According to the report, experts said that this grasshopper has a rare pink skin because of the genetic mutation "turning red", which is similar to albinism, but its skin has red pigmentation. Because the color of this mutant grasshopper is very conspicuous, it is easier for their natural enemies in the animal kingdom to find them, so they rarely survive to adulthood. This is why pink grasshoppers are so rare.
It is reported that Mao Mu Lizhi, a sixth-grade pupil in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture, found a pink locust in the grass earlier. Insect researchers say that young locusts with small wings are generally brown or gray. The reason why this locust is pink may be because of a mutation in its body, but it is uncertain whether it is related to environmental changes.
Netizens say that the genetic mutation of animals is telling us to take care of the environment we live in!
