For State Insect...


...I nominate the scorpion. Oops -- I just counted the legs of the specimen above & there are eight, instead of the requisite six. No insect, he (or she). Too bad, as the scorpion is certainly a favorite subject of Arizona folk art, such as the paper weights (above) that you'll find in all sorts of tourist places. I kinda like the metallic monster I saw on an excursion up in Mountain Club the other day (below.)
