South African forbhopper, Thericlesiella meridionalis, Thericleidae

Although this species is typically green and yellow, a condition known as erythrism is relatively common. Erythrism is a genetic condition that causes an excessive amount of red pigments or lack of non-red pigments in animals. In grasshoppers and katydids, it’s possible this is an adaptation to help camouflage among red or pink flowers and foliage. However, individuals with erythrism often have difficulty camouflaging themselves in more common green foliage and are eaten by predators before they make it to adulthood.

if you see someone who has a pet spider, cockroach, mantis, snail/slug, or any other insect/arachnid/invertebrate and you feel the need to say something like “i would squash it” or “pour salt on it” or literally anything else promoting violence or calling their pet disgusting, you’re a repulsive person. it doesn’t matter how you personally feel about the animal, that owner deeply cares about them and they have the same bond as you do with your dog or cat. y’all would lose your minds if someone said “step on it” under a video of a puppy, so have that same energy if its a video of a tarantula. stop belittling and advocating for harm against peoples pets!!!!!!
