While researching Ohioans this week, I found this:


Dec 16, 2019, 4:31 PM

From Wikipedia:

"The Ladybug was designated as the official state insect by Senate Concurrent Resolution 14, 111th General Assembly, 1975–1976 Session.[26] It was designated Ohio's official insect by Public Chapter 896 of the 99th General Assembly. A specific species of the Family Coccinellidae was never designated[27]Though some sources erroneously claimed the state insect was the 7-spotted ladybeetle, that is inaccurate. The Ohio Governor's page lists that the state insect is a ladybeetle is indigenous to Ohio[28], therefore ruling out the possibility of the state insect being the 7-Spot, which is an invasive species in Ohio native to Europe."

Analysis:

- Ohioans spend their time designating insects as state symbols.
- It took 99 General Assemblies to finally make a formal declaration of the state bug.
- Ohioans chose the most effeminate type of insect possible to symbolize their state.
- The formal bug declaration wasn't actually specific to a single bug.
- Ohioans wrongly interpreted and misreported their nonspecific state bug declaration.
- The "Ohio Governor's page" is devoted in part to expositions on the truth about the state bug.
- Wikipedia editors can't report on the "Ohio Governor's page" without grammatical errors.
- There is actually some limited evidence of invasive species within the state of Ohio itself.
- A large number of Ohioans are themselves a non-native invasive species in the American South.

Our insect can beat up their insect.

"State insect: Carolina mantid (Stagmomantis carolina) – One reason that the Carolina mantid was selected as the state insect is for its use in agriculture in managing harmful insects. (1988)"

And this...

the South Carolina Department of Agriculture tweeted: “We know Georgia gets all the credit, but SC actually harvests three times more peaches than GA

California produces 4 or 5 times the peaches as SC, but they are a much poorer quality and mostly used in canned foods and such. South Carolina markets the most fresh peaches!

Whatever choice(s) you make makes you. Choose wisely.
