Mine are the Lady Beetle and Chickadees . I did not know this . I will have to be careful and not to kill my state bug.
 
Carolina wren and Carolina mantid (despite beliefs that it's the Palmetto bug :lol: ). We also have a state butterfly and spider but the mantid (praying mantis) is the insect.

I was taking to a neighbor about the birds in our yard and my neighbor said
we had a lot of 'goldfish' too , and I was thinking HUH?? My neighbor
said 'goldfinch ' but it sounded like goldfish to me. We both got a good laugh out of it! I guess the goldfish , I mean goldfinch ate all the insects in your state .

Might be. It's so humid here in the summer, it is a joke that the mosquito is our state bird!
 
Wyoming bird: western meadowlark
flower: Indian Paintbrush
dinosaur: triceratops
animal: bison
reptile: horned toad/horned lizard
tree: cottonwood
fish: cutthroat

no official state insect, but the state butterfly is the Sheridan's Green Hairstreak

hehe!

Maine state bird should be the blackflies . I guess you do not have many bats in your state. Bats eat ton of mosquitos.

I knew that the State bird is Greater Roadrunner.

Then I tried to look for the State insect and there were none.
