Sunday Stamps: Creepy-crawlies

 Good morning and welcome to my blog.  It is a cool sunny late Spring day in the American Midwest, and it's time for Sunday Stamps.

The theme today is creepy-crawlies.  This could be insects, or other invertebrates.  Yes insects are on stamps, though not often.

First:


A butterfly from the USPS.  This stamp is for square envelopes.  Most people find this insect beautiful.

And then there's an older stamp:


A dung beetle, from a set of stamps featuring insects released in 1999.  Eww.  Well, the entomologists were happy with that set of stamps.

    The dung beetle is very attractive in this stamp :-)

    I've been watching a PBS series on bugs (which made me think of this theme) and am slowly beginning to appreciate beetles.

    Ooh a special stamp for square envelopes. The US seems to have an interesting variety of stamp rates. A lovely stamp for a birthday card.

    That dung beetle may not win any beauty contests, but it’s a fascinating choice
