New Species Purple Yoda

Most are reporting this as being named after the Star Wars character, but we all know another Yoda, the Purple Yoda

A worm has (inadvertently) been named after Prince?

I was trying to import the photo but wasn't working for me. I'm sure someone around here could work some photoshop on the little guy =)

"But Yoda purpurata is hardly the only species to be named after a famous character, fictional or not. Recent examples include a horse fly named for Beyoncé, an isopod (this group includes pill bugs) near Zanzibar (an island of Tanzania in East Africa) named after Freddie Mercury ("arguably Zanzibar's most famous popular musician and singer") and slime mold beetles named after George Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld."

^^ lol It does look more pink to me too although I unwisely Google imaged "acorn worms" and found one that's more purple. Still pretty ugly. lol First the afro/wig, then the yellow pants and gold sleep mask, and now this!!! He needs to do some serious damage control... lol
