* well, of course in Canada, back in the day, east of some mountains in
BC there were no Earthworms to serve as hosts for the Cluster Flies. The
story is told that New York selected a native Ladybird Beetle as a State
Insect, but by the time the process had been processed, the State Insect
was extinct in the state, due to crowding out by the Asian Ladybirds.
