Fly by Night: Catch a Luna Moth Near You
U.S. Postal Service issues stamp for irregularly sized cards and invitations SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Aug. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the U.S. Postal Service issued Luna Moth, a nondenominated stamp priced at the non-machineable surcharge rate, at the Great American Stamp Show here. A pale green luna moth graces the new release, which is designed for use on irregularly sized envelopes such as square greeting cards, invitations or announcements. Noted for their lovely green coloring and larger-than-average size, luna moths (Actias luna) are among the most beautiful moths in the United States. The stamps come in panes of 20 and are available at Post Office locations nationwide and online at Stamp design Luna Moth was designed by Derry Noyes, an art director for USPS, using an existing image by artist Joseph Scheer. The stamp features an image of a pale green luna moth with darker edges and eyespots on all four wings. The moth has a white and yellow body with feathery brown antennae between its forewings. Scheer created the image using a high-resolution scanner with extended focus, which allowed him to program in a variety of depths of field at exact points above the scanner glass. As many as 32 layers were scanned individually to ensure that all parts of the preserved moth would appear in sharp focus. These layers were stitched together to create the final image. Near the bottom of the stamp, the words "NON-MACHINEABLE SURCHARGE" appear in uppercase letters directly below the word "USA," which is printed in brown type. Like a Forever stamp, it will always be valid for the rate printed on it.

Man, 77, Reunites with the Class Ring He Lost on a Beach Over 55 Years Ago: 'It's in Marvelous Condition'
NEED TO KNOW A man was reunited with his Fordham University class ring after losing it over five decades ago Al DiStefano, 77, lost the ring in 1969 while hanging out on a beach in Long Island Long Island resident Dave Orlowski recently found the inscribed ring while scanning the local beach with his metal detector A man was recently reunited with his college class ring after losing it over five decades ago. Al DiStefano, 77, lost his Fordham class ring in the Long Island Sound while hanging out on a Cedar Beach pier in May 1969, per the New York Post. The then 21-year-old had paid $110 for the gold ring with a garnet stone and couldn't afford a replacement. 'It was a nice ring,' DiStefano told the Post. 'It was important to me. I probably should have spent a little more time looking for it.' Cut to over 55 years later, when Long Island, N.Y. resident Dave Orlowski was sweeping Cedar Beach with a metal detector. Orlowski told the Post he got what he called 'a good hit' on the detector, and began digging in sand in near waist-deep water. 'I was digging, digging, digging. When I pulled up the ring, I couldn't believe the size and condition,' Orlowski, 56, recalled. Orlowski, who has a collection of found gold and silver objects from the past 25 years, said he briefly considered keeping the item, estimating it could be worth around $2,000 due to the fact that it contained white gold palladium.

However, the career electrician said his wife, Denise, ultimately persuaded him to find the ring's original owner. 'She told me it would be bad karma to keep the ring since we had the name of the person inscribed,' he told the Post, adding, 'She asked me if I'd want my ring back in that situation, and that answered my question.' Orlowski ultimately located a Fordham Class of 1969 Facebook group, and he reached out to the group's administrator, Karen Manning, who helped connect him with DiStefano. 'David made me feel good about people again for going out of his way to try to find the owner,' Manning told the Post. DiStefano, a retired oncologist who now lives in Texas, was shocked when he learned his ring had been found. 'Once in a blue moon, I'd think about the ring having a nice life at the bottom of the Sound,' he told the Post. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! 'He [Orlowski] mailed it to me, and I got it less than a week later — it's in marvelous condition. I'm wearing it now. I figured I ought to make up for lost time,' he added. DiStefano also said that he has thanked Orlowski profusely and plans to send him some gifts from Texas to show his appreciation. Read the original article on People
