When you think of lobsters, you picture them in the color red because that's how certain restaurants market them ... but not so fast my friend.

Meghan LaPlante, 14, and her father caught a blue lobster south of Portland, Maine.

It's reported that only 1-2 million lobsters are blue, as most are dark green or brown.

The blue is caused from a genetic defect. The lobster's name is Skylar and it will be donated to an aquarium.
