Butterflies Stamps / A butterfly is a daytime flying insect. The butterfly life cycle consists of four parts - egg, larva, pupa and adult.

An adult butterfly has six legs and four wings . The body is divided into three segments: the head, the chest and the abdomen. They have two antennae, two compound eyes and a snout.
Butterflies usually lay their eggs on plants, fixing them to leaves with a special glue-like substance they produce which hardens rapidly. The egg stage lasts several weeks. Butterflies are widely used as various objects of art and jewellery. They are also a popular motif in the visual and literary arts.

Astronomy & Astrology Stamps

Astronomy & Astrology Stamps / At one time in the past Astronomy and Astrology were considered to be the same thing, but around the 18th Century thinking changed and they began to be recognized as separate subjects. Astronomy, the study of objects and happenings outside of the Earth’s atmosphere, was thought of more as a science, while Astrology – the use of the positions of objects such as planets/stars beyond the Earth to predict future events and also to produce psychological profiles for people born during certain months of the year, was thought not to have enough qualifying evidence to be considered a scientific subject.

But the study of the stars and other planetary objects is moving ahead and improved technology, and with it the use of satellites to explore space means man continues to make more discoveries about objects far beyond our solar system.

Penguins Stamps

Penguins Stamps / The penguin is an amphibian bird living mainly in Antarctica. They have countershaded dark and white plumage and their wings have evolved to become flippers.
Most penguins eat fish. They spend roughly half of their lives on land and half in oceanic waters.
In the water penguins are astonishingly agile. Penguins' swimming looks very similar to a bird's flight in the air. On land, penguins use their tails and wings to maintain balance for their upright stance.

Agriculture Stamps

Agriculture Stamps / One of the most fundamental reasons that the World’s population has been able to subsist is the development of agricultural production methods over the centuries. But even today poorer countries struggle to provide foodstuff for their inhabitants while in other parts of the World overproduction exists.

The increased use of technology and science to produce disease-free, faster-growing and even genetically-modified crops and chemical fertilizers has also caused certain problems. Also the use of growth hormones and antibiotics in farmed animals has caused great concern. The growth of organic farming methods over the last thirty years is witness to the fact that many people prefer naturally-produced products.

Today, roughly one third of the World’s workforce is employed in the agriculture sector.

Flags Stamps / A flag is a piece of fabric with a distinctive design that is used as a symbol, as a signaling device, or as decoration. One of the most popular uses of a flag is to symbolise a nation or country.
