This striking stamp from the Democratic Republic of the Congo features the delicate moth Rhodophititus simplex, illustrated with vivid pink and translucent wings.
Issued as part of a natural history or insect-themed series, it highlights the region’s rich biodiversity.
The artistic detailing by J. Van Noten, combined with Courvoisier’s high-quality printing, enhances its visual appeal for thematic collectors.
The dark background with star-like accents creates a dramatic contrast, making the moths appear luminous.
A desirable piece for collectors of entomology, African fauna, and mid-20th century engraved issues.
