SloveniaIn June, a researcher from the Austrian nature conservation organization Naturschutzbund discovered a rare white butterfly in Beljak, Austria. This particular butterfly has an unusual pinkish coloration due to a rare genetic mutation called erythrism, which causes the production of red pigments while lacking dark pigments. The pink coloration occurs only if the butterfly inherits the mutated gene from both parents. Since this mutation is extremely rare in nature, such butterflies are very uncommon. However, this unique coloring makes them more vulnerable to predators compared to the typical green or brown butterflies, which are better camouflaged. The specimen found is still in its nymph stage, making it difficult to determine the exact species.
