Inside the collection of the stamps, a form of the same call thematic collection exists. This means to collect some stamps that show a thematic one certain, which will be chosen by the collector according to their likes.

Stamps belonging to the series emitted by Tunisia dedicated to the insects in 1996.

This collection type arose soon after the impossibility of the fond ones to gather all the stamps of a certain country or from all over the world, due to its high cost. For it pursues it reducing the environment of collecting, not only to a topic but also to a part of that topic (e.g. Stamps in those that appear glasses).

I seal of a series dedicated to autochthonous insects emitted in 1992.

Butterfly skull sphinx. I seal belonging to the series that in 1994 Comores emitted on the insects and butterflies.

In this section a thematic one will be shown dedicated to the collection of stamps in those that insects appear. Almost all the countries emit, they have emitted or they will emit stamps that show diverse species of insects (in most of the cases butterflies, to be the most attractive insect).

An advantage of the thematic collections is the great diversity that you/they show the stamps in its effigies, which show from the different political changes, sport events, fauna  and autochthonous flora, and a long etc.

I seal belonging to the series emitted in 1995 by the Republic of Equatorial Guinea, on the butterflies and the African orchids.

At the present time they have a great peak, even more than the typical collection, and that leaves in the contests and philatelic exhibitions where it is more and more frequent to find exposed numerous thematic apart from those already classic for countries.
    Like support topic in the sixties the thematic of butterflies appeared. In a principle they were included in the general topic of fauna, but given the proliferation of series soon was classified for separate. Today in day, specialized catalogs exist as well as leaves to locate the stamps of the most recent years. Logically, the countries with more number of species of butterflies are those that have dedicated more emissions to this thematic one
