Insect Stamp of AlbaniaInsect Stamp of AlbaniaThe stamp describing the beetle which will represent four kinds of Europe from small country Albania in the Balkan Peninsula in East Europe in 1963 was issued. Although the whole stamp is modest at 2 color print, the beetle itself is correctly drawn with monochrome.
The stamp of three kinds of dragonflies and five kinds of butterflies was issued in 1966. Although it thought that the design was deformed considerably and had tastes by people, only the dragonfly stamp in this was taken up.
Four kinds of stamps describing the ladybird were issued in 2004.
