already defined as a Hitchhiker in the Letterboxing
World, I suggest calling your creations symbionts,
which means they live in harmony with their hosts.
Of course, the stamps you have already created are
considered parasites, so they would not fit the
definition and might be better off placed as a series
of boxes on their own. Good luck with this.
