Insects on a Stamp
Insect stamps are mainly collected. It was fascinated with its junior high school student days at the beetle stamp of Portuguese Guinea, or the child welfare insect stamp of Switzerland, and collection of an insect stamp was continued for about ten years since then.

A prize of the Japan Philatelic society-sponsored exhibition JAPEX was won 3 times. After employment cannot take time to become busy and arrange very much. Recently, many insect stamps are issued from the countries in the world from the beauty, and it has become the appearance which added water to the motivation of collection in the excessive issue line.
This page "the insects on a stamp" was touched off by "the charm of a butterfly stamp" in Mr. Masahiro Higashide's homepage GLINGLIN and created and the homepage was exhibited from June, 1998.
