How about stamp depicting Insects, Lepidoptera or Arachnids

These Insects from Thailand. Date of issue: 2001-07-04

And this Jewel beetle from my garden. It is about 60mm (2⅓") long and quite heavy.
I picked him? up and put it on the leaf to take his photo then returned him to forage.

Regards, James.

 

I love these stamps. They are so different and unique, the bugs so beautiful also. The pictures of the bugs on the stamps are so intricate and defined you can see every detail.

 

How about stamp depicting Insects, Lepidoptera or Arachnids...

Will dig through mine as I know I have a large number from various countries... stay tuned!

 

Nice that "he" cooperated in the photo session James. I like those insect stamps.

 

Hello all, I think that "He" was a "She" of the "femorata" beetles (Big thighs) but I have not found the precise name of the species. I know that it is not Sagra Femorata because they say that the maximum size is only 20mm (⅞"). I should have photographed her with a coin for comparison, I'll know better if we meet again.
