1 For Immediate Release Discover the Ecological Diversity in a Pond in the New Low Value Definitive Stamp Date of Issue: 13 April 2011 Complete set of Pond Life (Low value) stamps (S$4.08) Pre-cancelled First Day Cover affixed with eight Pond Life (Low value) stamps (S$4.35) Definitives: Pond Life Collector s Sheet comprising both high and low value stamps (S$28.00) Singapore, 12 April In this new low value definitive stamp series of 10 stamps to be released on 13 April 2011, SingPost brings you the amazing diversity and beauty of a pond ecosystem which are part of our natural heritage that few of us may actually see. This new low value definitive stamp series will complete the Pond Life definitive collection. The high value definitive Pond Life stamp set was issued on 16 February this year. This set of low value definitive stamp sets with its intricate designs shows some commonly found life forms at a pond. Page 1 of 5
2 The 1 st Local and 2 nd Local stamps spot the lovely Water Lily and the striking Water Hyacinth respectively. Water lily (Nymphaea) is a fresh water plant found in most parts of the world. It is rooted in soil in bodies of water, with leaves and flowers floating on the water surface. The leaves are round and the flowers are wonderfully showy and fragrant, lasting only a few days. Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is a free-floating perennial aquatic plant with broad, thick, glossy, ovate leaves and has long, spongy and bulbous stalks. The feathery, freely hanging roots are purple-black. Flowers are mostly lavender to pink in colour with six petals. The eight low-value stamps feature the White-Collared Kingfisher (5 ), Diving Beetle (20 ), Common Redbolt (Dragonfly) (30 ), Ornate Coraltail (Damselfly) (45 ), Black Marsh Terrapin (50 ), White-Breasted Waterhen (55 ), Common Greenback (65 ) and Common Toad (80 ). There are less than 10 documented species of Kingfishers found in Singapore and the White-Collared Kingfisher (Todirhamphus chloris) featured in this set is one of the most commonly found species. The Diving Beetle (Cybister rugosus, part of the family Dytiscoidea) is voracious predator and hunts a wide variety of prey, including other insects, tadpoles, and small fish. One of the world s oldest insects - the dragonfly Common Redbolt, (Rhodothemis rufa) is commonly found in Singapore, particularly in weedy ponds, lagoons in lowland, and water channels. The dragonfly is a valuable predator that eats mosquitoes, and other small insects like flies, bees and ants. The Damselfly, Ornate Coraltail (Ceriagrion cerinorubellum), also known as Bi-coloured Damsel, is the most common and beautiful species of damselflies. It is easily found in many of Singapore s parks particularly around ponds, drains, canal, open streams, and is relatively big in size compared to other damselflies. The Black Marsh Terrapin (Siebenrockiella crassicollis) is known as the 'Smiling Terrapin' on account of its upwardly curved jaw line. Growing only to about 20 cm in size, this is one of the region's smallest terrapins. It feeds on frogs, freshwater prawns, worms and snails, as well as carrion. The White-Breasted Waterhen (Amaurornis phoenicurus) is the most common of the Rail family in Singapore. It feeds mainly on seeds, insects, small fish, and also nibble on worms, shoots and roots of marsh plants. The Common Greenback (Rana erythraea) is a species of frog in the Ranidae family. Commonly found near a pond, it lives in damp grass and undergrowth, and plunges into the water when alarmed. Its diet includes insects, worms and slugs, and its eggs are laid in clumps. The Common Toad or Asian Toad (Bufo melanostictus) is differentiated from a frog by its shorter legs and warty skin, and its eggs are laid in long strings. It hides in the ground and hunts for food at night, feeding on insects, larvae, spiders, slugs and worms. Larger toads may also eat small reptiles and rodents, which are swallowed alive. Page 2 of 5
