Well, I did promise them and I received them today, so here they are, in my opinion one of the most beautiful sets from the TAAF (French Southern and Antarctic Territories). YT#40-42 (1972, top row) and #49-51 (1973, bottom row).

"Microzetia mirabilis" - I understand approximately zero Latin but I know the word "mirabilis". I wonder what is miraculous about this bug? He doesn't bite, maybe that's the miracle ....

Not sure why it is considered miraculous, except maybe that it can survive in such a cold climate?

And "Pringleophaga monsterbugthing" - that one I understand, he eats Pringles. On occasion I also eat Pringles. My wife loved these things she found up here over the summer. Ryan

A nice gift from renden he gave me at our Stamp Day this last Monday, four sheets of the Canadian low-value definitives from 2007-2010 I have all these sheets of low values . As I use them because of our recent rate hike, I no longer have full sheets. They are still for sale at www.canadapost.cadavid
