Insect Philately

Insect Philately Stamp Collecting

Dr. Art Evans, entomologist and WCVE producer Steve Clark explore insect collecting of another kind - insect stamp collecting. The image is a first day cover of a series of beetle postage stamps rendered in 1987 by one of Art's professors at the University of Pretoria, Erik Holm.

I've always found it interesting how stamp collecting can focus on just about any topic. I myself specialize in Poland stamp collecting. I can see why someone interested in entomology, though, would want to collect stamps of insects.
