Collectors of insect-related stamps are said to practice “entomophilately”. Insects are endlessly fascinating creatures that most people think of as nuisances or pests. The importance of insects to human welfare transcends the grand battles we fight against them to manage them for our own ends. Though some are bothersome, they are no less interesting to those who will stop and study them. As uncommon philatelic subjects, they should find a ready welcome in anyone’s thematic collection.
It is amazing to see the numbers and variety of insect stamps that are being issued. More than 20,000 insect stamps have been issued worldwide by different stamp issuing entities depicting more than 2000 insects.
