Ladybugs on cover from Floating Post Office in India

India Post released a set of four stamps and a Miniature sheet featuring Ladybird Beetles on 23 rd February. Ladybugs, also called lady beetles or ladybird beetles, are a very beneficial group. They are natural enemies of many insects, especially aphids and other sap feeders. A single lady beetle may eat as many as 5,000 aphids in its lifetime .Lady bird beetles are found in most agricultural and garden habitats. Their presence indicates that natural biological control is occurring.

This cover was sent from famous floating post-office on Dal Lake, Srinagar, in Kashmir. The seal used on everything posted from the Floating Post Office is unique – along with the date and address, it bears the design of a boatman rowing a shikara on the Dal Lake.


Thank you Kamran!
