Bugs and Butterflies First day covers (gummed, self-adhesive, miniature sheet) Green mantid (Orthodera ministralis) Its size (its body can be up to 120 mm long) and its posture (with forelegs held together as if praying) make this bug easy to recognise. It’s also quite common – it is found almost everywhere in Australia. Many species are camoufl aged to blend with a particular environment or background, such as fl owers, rocks or tree trunks, so they aren’t easy to see. This sort of camoufl age is handy for predators. Just ask the captive damselfl y in the grips of the green mantid on the stamp.

This caterpillar is bright green with red and blue lumps along the body. The lumps are topped with non-stinging hairs. A yellow line runs along each side of the body. When the angle of light is just right the yellow line can be mistaken for a leaf’s mid-rib. Fiddler beetle (Eupoecila australasiae) Beetles are the largest and most diverse order of insects. This one takes its common name from a violin-shaped pattern in its mostly dark brown shell. The fi ddler beetle is found from top to bottom of the eastern half of Australia. Miniature sheet The miniature sheet features additional creatures, including a large and very colourful male birdwing butterfl y (Ornithoptera priamus). These butterfl ies prefer to keep to the treetops where they cruise around with a gliding fl ight. Birdwings are internationally protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.

These creatures are hidden within the design. This design technique is one of the hallmarks of the work of Graeme Base. About the illustrator Graeme Base was born in England in 1958 and moved to Australia in 1966. He grew up in Melbourne and studied design at the Swinburne Institute of Design. His fi rst book was My Grandma Lives in Gooligulch, published in 1983. It took him three years to fi nish the illustrations for his second book, Animalia (1986). Since then Animalia has sold more than two million copies worldwide, and brought Base international attention and acclaim. He has a tremendous fan base and his new efforts are eagerly anticipated by fans young and old throughout the world.
