Description
On a sober gray background which brings out its warm colors, this stamp features the Little Monarch resting on a thistle. This butterfly is remarkable for its slow flight and its tawny colors bordered with black and white, which serve as a warning signal to predators because it is toxic. In Tunisia, it is frequently encountered in coastal areas and southern oases. It symbolizes the biological link between sub-Saharan Africa and the Mediterranean basin, being a species capable of crossing vast distances.
