Insect Stamp of Vanuatu

Vanuatu is the independent country which consists of an island of 83 which appears on the South Pacific by airplane from New Caledonia for about 1 hour. It is known as an untouched paradise at the resort where a level is high more than imagination. Various scenes, such as islands covered by what made by upheaval of a coral reef and a reef, and the tropical rain forests which grow thick, can be enjoyed. The tanner island which continues activity in addition now. Highlights, such as a Split Santo Island of diver yearning where the luxury liner "president Coolidge" sank, have also gathered abundantly in 1942.
Four kinds of the insect stamps were issued from this Vanuatu in 1987.
Four kinds of the dragonfly stamps were issued in 2012.
