Fascinating Insect Stamps Celebrate Summer

Creepy, crawly, icky, fascinating bugs. If it's summer, bugs are in abundance. They creep through the grass, march across sidewalks, lurk under rocks, drop from trees like miniature parachutists, and plague vegetable gardeners. On hot summer nights you can hear them buzzing around your patio lights, performing desperate kamikaze dives into the bug zapper. One wrong turn and a bug in the house is the source of ear-splitting shrieks that set fly-swatters flapping.

Often maligned, the ignoble bug can also be a thing a beauty. Bugs come in all shapes and colors, from miniscule black specks to gorgeous iridescent green behemoths. Their protective array of spikes, pinchers, hooks and horns makes a formidable looking arsenal, but its purpose is generally self-protective, not aggressive. An integral part of nature's food chain, some bugs pollinate flowers, vegetables, and trees before becoming fodder for birds, frogs, fish, and the occasional unwary motorcycle rider.
