在新西兰发现的稀有的粉色蝗虫因其独特的颜色和濒危状态而引起人们的注意。 A rare pink grasshopper, spotted in New Zealand, is drawing attention due to its unique color and endangered status.

2025年11月18日，在新西兰麦肯齐盆地的一次例行调查中，发现了一只罕见的粉色雌性强健蚱蜢（Sigaus robustus）。 A rare pink female robust grasshopper (Sigaus robustus) was spotted in New Zealand’s Mackenzie Basin on November 18, 2025, during a routine survey. 粉色深处的颜色,很可能是由于一种叫做红血球的遗传性疾病,使得昆虫在通常的石质栖息地上非常显眼。 The deep pink color, likely due to a genetic condition called erythrism, makes the insect highly visible against its usual stony habitat. 在2018年建造的掠食动物隔离栅栏外发现,濒危物种面临鸟类、猫和刺绣猪增加的风险。 Found outside a predator exclusion fence built in 2018, the endangered species faces increased risk from birds, cats, and hedgehogs. 包括护林员Jen Schori在内的研究人员将目光描述为异乎寻常,并表示希望可能繁殖,产生更多的粉红后代。 Researchers, including ranger Jen Schori, described the sighting as extraordinary and expressed hope the grasshopper may breed, potentially producing more pink offspring. 将昆虫的突然名声与名人相提并论。 The discovery has drawn excitement and lighthearted attention from conservationists, who likened the insect’s sudden fame to that of a celebrity.
