The official state insect of Alaska is the Four-Spot Skimmer Dragonfly (Libellula quadrimaculata). It was designated as such in 1995.

The Four-Spot Skimmer Dragonfly beat out 3 other insects in a vote by schoolchildren in Alaska. The runners-up were Unmarked slender mosquito, the Bumblebee, and the Mourning cloak butterfly.

The GI's would vote for the mosquito!

Alaska's state bird is the willow ptarmigan. This bird exists throught the tundra in Alaska, Canada, and Europe. Rather than leaving during winter, the willow ptarmigan stays put and replaces its brown feathers of summer with white ones, to camouflage with the snow in winter.
