New Hampshire State Insect

Ladybug

The ladybug, scientifically known as Coccinellidae, serves as the official state insect of New Hampshire. This choice represents not only the insect's aesthetic charm but also its ecological significance in controlling harmful pests that can damage crops. The ladybug's role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem aligns with New Hampshire's commitment to preserving its natural resources and agriculture, making it a fitting emblem of the state's dedication to environmental stewardship and the well-being of its agricultural heritage.
