What is my state and other states' official state insect or butterfly? Is there somewhere in each state to go see the state insect or butterfly? Is my state doing anything to protect these or other insects? If you find yourself asking any of these questions, then this book is for you...

50 Things to Know About State Insects by Jessica Dumas takes you on a journey to all 50 states of the United States of America to discover their state insect. Most states have an official state insect. Several states have a butterfly for a state insect, some have a state butterfly, and some have both. Then there are some who have a state agricultural insect, state bee, bug, mascot, or macroinvertebrate. There are even some states who have a mixture of them.

There may already be books that describe the insects of a certain state or in a certain part of the country. There may already be books on a particular kind of insect such as butterflies or bees. Those are all good, but this book is unique because it has the state insect for every state, and you can take it with you when traveling across the country as you travel to different states. It can be used to help educate children as well as adults while on a road trip or just in general. It can also be a way to get more in touch with nature as you learn about different insects.

This book will list a place in each state where you can see the state insect such as a conservatory, farm, or sanctuary. Because so many of these insects are being threatened or are endangered, many states have programs in effect to help protect them, which will also be listed.

Based on knowledge from many of the world’s leading experts, understanding the role these insects play in their state can bring a greater appreciation to how badly they are needed in our ecosystem now and in the future. The states will be listed alphabetically, and each will include the name or names of the state insect(s) with a description, places to go see them, and/or state protection programs. Due to all the facts being included in each state, there is more than 50 things listed all together, so by the time you finish this book, you will know...at least 50 things about the state insects. So grab your copy today. You will be glad you did!
