The Tale Behind the Stamp

In 1977, the United States Postal Service issued four 13-cent stamps as a se-tenant Butterfly issue, illustrating butterflies from different geographic areas within the United States. The checkerspot (Euphydryas phaeton) has a dark brown body or thorax, a color which extends to its wings, spotted white and then orange on their edges. It has hairy forelegs too short for walking. The prominent knobs on its antennae are a trait of this butterfly family. The checkerspot is found in wet meadows in woodlands in the Northeast, sphagnum bogs in Lake States, and hillsides and drier ridges in open mixed hardwoods in Ozarks. It ranges from southeast Manitoba to Nova Scotia and south to Nebraska, Arkansas, and Georgia. The Baltimore checkerspot was adopted as Maryland's state insect in 1973.
