Many countries have featured insects on stamps. Insect-related topics such as the anti-malaria eradication program of the 1960s as well as graphic designs based on insects have also emerged. Many stamps also feature butterflies.
Insects only start to appear on stamps much slower than larger and more interesting animals. The first postmark that featured a beetle was released in 1948 in Chile as a tribute to the historian Claudio Gay. Since then, insects have become a popular subject in the philatelic world. Between 1953 and 1969, about 100 stamps featuring beetles were published worldwide. Most of the time, interesting aesthetic species are depicted, but some stamps also have pests. In another example, due to a simplified image, it is difficult to identify which species are described on the stamp.
