Did you know Alabama has a state mascot and it’s an insect?

Like most states, Alabama has lots of designated symbols, such as a state flower – the camellia – and bird – yellowhammer. But did you know our state honors several insects, as well? Yep, and they include the official state mascot, which is a beautiful yellow-and-black butterfly.
Yet many people don’t even realize Alabama has a mascot. So how did Alabama come to have a butterfly as its symbol?
In 1989, the Alabama Legislature passed Act 89-676, making the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail its official mascot.
The move came at the behest of officials from the City of Selma, who had designated the city the Butterfly Capital of Alabama in 1982. To celebrate this distinction, Selma erected dozens of butterfly sculptures around the city painted by various artists and more recently added a colorful butterfly mural.
