– This week’s SnapJax stories brought me to the country to a house on 40 acres in Palatka where we are looking for something that only one percent of the population will ever see, a pink grasshopper. Jackie Green who owns this property has seen one twice and once right here in this stall.“We have 40 acres of wonderfulness,” said Green.She left Jacksonville six months ago and moved to Palatka. Green acquired goats, chickens, cats and dogs and of course horses. Green added 17 animals in 6 months.
Her daughter Daisy is training to be a competitive rider and while this family is clearly focused on animals they never expected to find a very rare insect.“I was mowing down there one day. And all of a sudden, I was like, What is that thing and I climbed off the mower and there is this beautiful big pink grasshopper,” says Green.
“I start to mow this bush and I look and I’m like oh my gosh, there’s another one. This is insane. So most people never find one in their lifetime much less to 11 months apart,” says Green.
