Introducing Jamie, a talented 8-year-old photographer from the UK who is capturing the attention of social media with her most recent find—a rare pink grasshopper. Jamie shares her discovery with excitement on Instagram, pointing out that only 1% of people would ever see such a rare creature in their lifetime. She adds that a genetic abnormality that results in an excess of pink pigment and a deficiency of black pigment is what gives the grasshopper its striking pink color.

I just discovered a pink grasshopper, whoa! I feel really fortunate because only 1% of people will ever witness one in their lifetime. They create too much pink pigment and not enough black because to a genetic abnormality, which explains why it’s pink. This explains why it’s so pink. Jamie clarifies in her film.

Madeline saw another uncommon pink grasshopper on her way to her family’s barn, which she called “Millie.” The following day, she joyfully brought Millie to school to introduce her to her classmates, keeping her in a plastic container. Madeline already looks after nine hens, two dogs, two cats, and a bunny. She wants to become a veterinarian.
