coming back to salentin's great pix of 'butterflies', and our brief chat about 'The Crimson-Speckled Footman' (Utethesia pulchella (L.) - here is the same insect showing on what I assume is a Russian 4 Kopeck stamp from 1986 (100 Kopecks = 1 Ruble). A very attractive moth.

I simply hadn't realized how massively prolific butterflies were as subjects for stamp art - I suppose it's a reflection of the fact that of all insects butterflies are the most popular, though not the most numerous in terms of quantity of species - I think that accolade goes to beetles. I've yet to contribute to this thread - in terms of adding something new - though that may be difficult as possibly salentin has probably already posted those I might have as candidates:-)

Same s.s.,now with the logo of the Hong KongĀ“94 stamp exhibition,issued Feb.18th,1994.
Not a bad idea,to note the approximate sizes of the butterflies on the stamps of this series.
