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
Oh, I agree!
