Although stamps are only a square inch in size, they are the crystallization of national culture, science, and technology, and reflect the rise and fall of a country's politics and economy. Stamps are the country's business card and the window to science. Insect images with different looks and bright colors are printed on the stamps. These insect stamps are often collected by stamp fans.
There are many types of insects that show off on stamps, including butterflies, dragonflies, crickets, katydids, various beetles, bees, locusts, cicadas, stink bugs, praying mantises, beetles, etc. Among them, in terms of quantity and type, probably the most The butterfly stamps are my favorite. The book "World Butterfly Stamps" compiled by Shou Jianxin and Zhou Yao (1990) collected 563 butterfly stamps of 323 species from around the world, including a set of 20 stamps of 20 species from mainland my country. From 1950 to 1957, Switzerland issued a set of winter charity stamps every year, all with the theme of insects, including 13 butterfly stamps. In May 1953, Mozambique issued the "Butterfly Moth" ordinary stamp, which was very beautiful and was known as the "Butterfly Moth". "The King of Posts". In 1963, China issued 20 butterfly stamps. After 1980, the types and quantities of butterfly stamps issued continued to increase, with prominent themes. For example, butterfly stamps were issued twice to commemorate the International Congress of Entomology: the first was a Japanese tiger swallowtail stamp issued by Japan in 1980 to commemorate the 16th Congress; the second was a set of 4 stamps issued by Canada in 1988. Butterfly stamp to commemorate the 18th session. China issued a set of four insect stamps in 1992 to commemorate the 19th International Congress of Entomology. There are also butterfly stamps with themes to protect wildlife, commemorate celebrities, scientists, etc. Therefore, insect stamps are not only exquisite, good-looking, and collectible, but the theme they embody has become inseparable from human cultural life.
