Six sorts of the sericulture meeting holding commemorative stamp issued in 1930 became the first memorable pure insect stamp in the world from Lebanon. The leaf of the mulberry which is the cocoon, the larva, imago, and food of Silk moth is drawn in one color, and all of six sorts have become different colors with the same design (face-value 4pi, 4 1/2pi, 7 1/2pi, 10pi, 15pi, 20pi). It is well known that a nest in case Silk moth is again born from a larva to an imago is called cocoon, and the thread of silk can be taken from this cocoon.
The woman clothed in the silk is made into a silhouette, and silk moth and the cocoon are drawn on three sorts of women's liberation commemorative stamps issued from Libya in 1964. Although three sorts of this women's liberation commemorative stamp are the same designs altogether in 2 color print, they are different colors.
In Japan, what drew the cocoon, the larva, imago, and the leaf of the mulberry which is the food of silk moth on the scenic calcellation and the postal marking which can be used instead of a postmark, was produced in 1934 and afterwards, and was installed in the post office.
