Estes Park, CO — With rich purples, browns, reds and black on a square field, the cleverness of the Colorado hairstreak butterfly is featured by the U.S. Postal Service on a stamp dedicated today during a virtual ceremony.
The new stamp is now being sold at Post Office locations nationwide and online at usps.com.
“The Colorado hairstreak butterfly is not only a beautiful creature, it is the state insect for Colorado,” said dedicating official, William D. Zollars, a member of the U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors. “This stamp is the eighth in the butterfly series, developed in partnership with the greeting card industry specifically for oversize or square envelopes and other mail of nonstandard shapes and sizes.”
