Sunday Stamps 012: Of bugs and celebrations

stampbuttonb[5]

I have a postcard from Mexico, unfortunately, it did not have Mexican stamps as it was sent from Venezuela and in an envelope. So I am sharing stamps from Canada instead.



The stamp shown on the left is a 3-cent green lacewing from the Beneficial Insects definitive series issued in 2007 by Post Canada. Green lacewing is commonly used in biological pest control. On the right is a "celebration-in-the-mail" themed domestic stamp designed with traditional celebration symbols - swirls of ribbons, burst of fireworks, and cluster of confetti exploding from an envelope. All these make a fun, vibrant stamp. (Source)

The lacewing is a delicate insect whcih serves a useful purpose - a great stamp.

I love the celebration stamp, the lacewing, hmm, less so. I'm not into creepy things. It's useful? I didn't know.
