Rare Pink Crickets Bred In Japan

TOKYO, Japan (CBSDFW.COM) – An agricultural college near Tokyo has successfully bred rare pink bush crickets.
They are a species called euconocephalus thunbergi. Chiba Prefecture Agricultural College says the insect is usually green, but mutations can sometimes result in pink ones.
The school says a pink female was found last September in a nearby rice paddy. The school says researchers made it lay eggs without copulation and confirmed 12 pink babies have hatched since late July.
