This stamp highlights one of the most valuable agricultural aids: the Ladybug, locally called “Abou Al-Eid”. The illustration shows two ladybugs attacking aphids on a green leaf.
This show raises awareness about biological control. By promoting this natural predator of aphids, the Tunisian post office encourages the reduction in the use of chemical pesticides, emphasizing the importance of preserving the balance of ecosystems in the country's orchards and market gardens.
