A museum in Kansas City, Missouri found the tiny creature embedded into one of Van Gogh's paintings.
The museum made the discovery during a thorough examination of its French paintings.
The grasshopper is so tiny, it is only visible with a microscope.
Van Gogh, who often painted while outside, checked himself into a mental health asylum in 1889.
