No one noticed a grasshopper stuck in a Van Gogh painting

A grasshopper has been stuck in a Vincent Van Gogh painting for over a century.

That's right: the painting, Olive Trees, happened to have part of a grasshopper lodged in the paint for 128 years.

But the bug's thorax and abdomen were nowhere to be found.

Well, instead of painting a doctor, a postman and a lot of sad self-portraits, maybe he should've painted an exterminator.

The grasshopper was discovered by the team at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City.

Researchers think it may have been dead before it ended up on van Gogh's canvas.

It was common for him to work outside in the elements, so it's not totally surprising that the elements ended up, you know, in his work.

Sadly, the researchers weren't able to use the grasshopper to determine which season Olive Trees was painted in.
