... Los indígenas de Brasil, cuando ven una Morpho, dicen que es un pedazo del cielo que cayó en la tierra.

ABSTRACT ABSTRACT ABSTRACT ABSTRACT The use of insect design in the art of philately is analyzed from 80 postage stamps that are to be found in the Ethnobiology Laboratory Collection at Feira de Santana State University. These stamps come from 12 countries and insect species represented on them are distributed in seven taxonomic orders. Lepidoptera and Coleoptera are the two must represented orders with philatelic designs. The former contributes with 51 postage stamps, which are classified in 10 families and 46 identified species. The latter shows up with 17 postage stamps, which are classified in 8 families and 16 identified species. Through this entomophilatelic art Post Offices develop an environmental education by arousing in the public a liking for the study of entomology, as well as to make the presence of insects and other invertebrates more acceptable in daily life.
