Issued as part of a definitive or thematic series highlighting native butterflies, the design depicts two specimens in vivid shades of deep violet-blue with fine details of their delicate wing structure. The bright yellow-green background enhances the natural beauty of the species, making it a visually appealing issue for collectors.
