The Colorado hairstreak butterfly graces the eighth non-machineable butterfly stamp for use on iregulary-sized envelopes, such as square greeting cards, invitations, or announcements.
The butterfly stamps art uses images of preserved butterflies as a starting point. It is a highly stylized, simplified image of a Colorado hairstreak rather than an exact replica.
The shimmering purple Colorado hairstreak butterfly (Hypaurois crystals) dwells in the forest canopy of that state and much of the southwest. Never venturing far from its host plant, the Gambel oak (Quercus gambeli) feeds on tree sap and fallen raindrops.
The Colorado hairstreak -Colorado’s official state insect – has slender, hair-like, hind-wing appendages that resemble antennae. Nearby, on the underside of the wings, are spots that look like eyes and the thin streaks that give the hairstreak its name. Pointing its abdomen upward with false antennae held high, the butterfly’s evolutionary decoys fool predators into attacking the false head on the wing. A hungry bird ends up with an unsatisfying beakful of scaly wings.
The square format of the stamp was specifically for oversized or square envelopes. These envelopes cannot pass through the automated Postal processing system and have to be hand-canceled. They are non-machineable surcharge even if they weigh less than one ounce. Greeting card envelopes printed with a silhouette of a butterfly indicates the need for additional postage or the use of a stamp. Any non-machineable envelope, like oddly shaped or vertical envelopes, as well as lumpy envelopes, rigid envelopes, or mail with clasps, ribbons, or buttons, may use this butterfly stamp.
Colorado Hairstreak is available in sheets of twenty. The words “NON-MACHINEABLE SURCHARGE” on the stamp indicate its usage value. Like a forever stamp, this stamp will always be valid for the rate printed on it.
Nationally known artist Tom Engeman created this butterfly stamp art. Art director Derry Noyes designed the stamp.
