Butterflies of Tunisia: Spalia Sertorius
The illustration shows the Blood Dusky Moth (Spialia sertorius), a small, lively moth that frequents flowery meadows. By choosing this subject, the Tunisian postal institution promotes micro-fauna that is often little-known but essential to pollination and the health of nature. The contrast between the butterfly and the green tones of the surrounding vegetation underlines the message of a green and living Tunisia, attached to the inventory and celebration of its natural resources in all their diversity, even the tiniest.
