Contest for Nevada Students to Pick State Insect

Updated:

Nevada has a state flower, state tree and even a state fossil, but it doesn't have a state insect, at least for now.

Fourth graders from around the state will take part in a contest to choose a state insect. Nevada is one of a handful of states that doesn't have an official insect.

The winning class will have the opportunity to send three of its students to Carson City to testify in front of the appropriate legislative committee.
