Greetings friends!

*A series of postage stamps Insects of Cuba, issued on the island of Cuba in 1980, say goodbye to us and we will see a postage stamp with a face value of 30 Cuban centavos, which will show us another beetle that lives in Cuba called - Longhorn Beetle (Heterops dimidiata).

*Before we get to this postage stamp, I think it will be fair if I show you some of the beetles that I photographed in Ukraine.

*Unfortunately, they cannot yet be seen on the postage stamps of Ukraine, but I am thinking about this issue, there are several obstacles and the issue of including the issued postage stamps in catalogs has not been resolved. Also, I do not like that all postage stamps of the same series should be under the same denomination, but I am negotiating with Ukrposhta, however, I do not want to start with beetles).

*So, this mustachioed beetle looks like a beetle whom you will see on a Cuban postage stamp and he waves his paw to Cuba, saying goodbye.

*This beetle loves to settle in hives and is the enemy of beekeepers, I wish the hive had no enemies.

*As this beetle-firefighter, I closely follow the situation in the philately in Ukraine and at the first opportunity and with iron agreements, I will try to publish the first series of postage stamps with a link to the Beehive.

*So far, at the moment, it is possible to issue a postage stamp, a personal postage stamp, but it will not receive a catalog number, although it will be considered a philatelic product that can be exchanged for money at the post office, or sent by postal correspondence.

I edited a photo in the program PhotoDirector, which I also installed on my smartphone. For my publications, I do not use stock photographs, it is fundamentally important for me to use photographs that I have made with my own hands for publication and I can name them - authorial work.
