Frogs Stamps – Forever First Class Postage Stamps

Description

Frogs StampsForever 82¢ | Booklet Stamp FormatNumbering more than 4,000 species, frogs live on every continent except Antarctica. Of those thousands, more than 90 species are found in the United States.Digital illustrations of four North American frogs grace these stamps: the Pacific tree frog, the northern leopard frog, the American green tree frog, and the squirrel tree frog. Working with a primarily green color palette, the artist captured the essence of each animal with enough important defining features to make each recognizable. The subtle changes to the many green tones — with minimal details including spots, underbelly, and toes in shades of brown — accentuate the differences among the four frogs.Though widespread, some frog populations are vulnerable. In the U.S., amphibians have seen annual declines that, if unchecked, could lead to high-risk populations vanishing in less than a decade. There is positive news for amphibians worldwide, however. Scientists studying amphibians have re-discovered a number of species that were believed to be lost, and species never before seen are being newly identified. Conservation organizations are working, through breeding programs and other efforts, to protect threatened amphibians and rebuild their populations in the wild.The Frogs stamp is being issued as a Forever® stamp in booklets of 20. This Forever stamp is always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce price.Stamp Issuance:July 9, 2019Boise, ID 83706Made in the USA
