California Dogface Butterfly Non-Machineable Surcharge Stamps, 2019 Sheet – Square Cards and Irregular Envelopes
$35.00
The California dogface butterfly graces the seventh non-machineable butterfly stamp for use on irregularly sized envelopes, such as square greeting cards, invitations, or announcements.
The stamp art was digitally created using images of preserved butterflies as a starting point. The result is a highly stylized, simplified image of a California dogface rather than an exact replica.
The California dogface butterfly (Zerene eurydice) is named for distinctive markings on the wings of the male, which is depicted on the stamp. The yellow “dog’s head” on each forewing resembles the profile of a poodle. Females are lemon yellow with a single black spot on each forewing.
