Man finds an extremely rare bright pink grasshopper. Realizing how rare the specimen is, he says he's holding on to it with eventual plans on donating the grasshopper to an insect habitat.
, Dirk Parker came across a bright pink grasshopper. While he initially thought it was cool, he didn't think much of it and continued on his way.Dirk Parker showed off the pink grasshopper he found during a walk in Texas.
Parker lives in Tippecanoe, Ohio, but is temporarily working in Texas as an environmental inspector on oil and gas pipelines. Last week, his job was rained out for the day, so he decided to take a walk through nature. An avid hunter and fisher, Parker says he immediately spotted the bright pink insect as soon as he came across it.
Since then, Parker has held onto the little insect. Due to its bright pink colors, this grasshopper makes for easy prey. Since its so rare, however, Parker would rather that it get to live its life out in full. So, he bought a small habitat for it and filled it with grass, cloves and flowers. For now, he's still working in Texas and loves showing Pinky off to his coworkers. Once this job is done, however, Parker says he can't wait to get back to Ohio."I love Texas," he explained, "but nothing beats the hills of southeastern Ohio."
