Greetings friends!

If someone proposes you a dispute and declares that rhinos are found on the island of Cuba, do not rush to get into this dispute and refute your opponent, they are really found there, but the horn on the nose can be not only in a mammal, but also the insect is the Beetle (Homophileurus cubanus), which we see on a postage stamp with a face value of 13 Cuban centavos.

This postage stamp is part of the Insects of Cuba series of postage stamps issued in 1980 on the island of Cuba.

As you can see, this beetle bears little resemblance to the beetle featured on the previous postage stamp, but they belong to the same ground beetle family.

Let's take a look at this postage stamp.

I edited a photo in the program PhotoDirector, which I also installed on my smartphone.
For my publications, I do not use stock photographs, it is fundamentally important for me to use photographs that I have made with my own hands for publication and I can name them - authorial work.
