Yes, my nature loving friends, Pinky has died.
More from the Columbus Dispatch (Notice the URL- katy_didnt, isn't that clever? Thanks to Colin for pointing that out to me) and Weedpicker Cheryl Harner.
UPDATE: Jim has posted the necropsy photos (an animal autopsy) on his blog. Beware, they are gruesome.

NOOOOOOOO! I was hoping to see her at the State Fair. How sad, but such is life in the insect world. =sniff=
ReplyDeleteHeather- Yes, it is true, I'm sorry that you didn't get to see her in person, she was really almost unbelievable. Maybe someone else will find another pink Katydid this year, especially with all the press Pinky received. You never know.
