The orange lobster is one in 10 million

A rare orange lobster has been caught in the western islands.

It was handed over by a fisherman to the Barratlantic fish processing company in Barra, which has placed it in a tank with other live lobsters.

The chances of a European lobster being orange are one in 10 million, according to the Cornish charity, National Lobster Hatchery.

Locusts are usually dark blue / black.

The National Lobster Hatchery said there were different theories as to why some lobsters had different colors, such as genetics, diet, or habitat adaptation.

He added that the lack of a certain protein could be behind the color orange.

Last year, one in two million blue locusts was landed by a fisherman in Aberdeen.
