We all know that states have “official” animals, birds, and flowers. Until I did a little research, I didnâ??t know that there were also state insects, amphibians, and reptiles. For example, the state insect of New York is the ladybug, Missouriâ??s reptile is the three toed box turtle, and the official amphibian of Washington is the Pacific chorus frog. However, recently Wisconsin has taken this naming of living things a step further. Americaâ??s Dairyland, whose state dance is the polka, has been in the news lately because there is a bill before the state legislature to name a State Germ.
