Ten state insects:
- Honeybee (Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin)
- Green Darner Dragonfly (Washington)
- Ladybug (Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee)
- Monarch Butterfly (Alabama, Idaho, Illinois, Minnesota, Vermont)
- California Dogface Butterfly (California)
- Firefly (Pennsylvania, Tennessee)
- Two-Tailed Swallowtail (Arizona)
- Carolina Mantid (South Carolina)
- Oregon Swallowtail Butterfly (Oregon)
- Zebra Longwing Butterfly (Florida)
A few notes seem necessary here. First of all, both Pennsylvania and Tennessee have two state insects; curiously, in both cases the insects are the firefly and the ladybug. Strange. Second, both Texas and West Virginia have both a State Insect and a State Butterfly. In both states, the Monarch Butterfly is the state butterfly. Third, what's the deal with all the damn honeybees? Let's see a little variety, people!
