Greetings friends!

Even if, suddenly, you are a resident of temperate latitudes and, by chance, lol, found yourself in the southern part of the African continent, you can feel at home, because butterflies live there, very similar to the butterflies Pieris brassicae and Gonepteryx rhamni we are used to, who like to hover over meadows and fields, over lawns and vegetable gardens.

We will see this type of butterflies on the next postage stamp from the Butterflies (1984) series of postage stamps, issued in 1984 in Lesotho, and it was named - African Migrant (Catopsillia florella).

As you can see, you can see both yellow and white representatives of this species of butterfly, but this is not very easy to do, you will have to run after it and not on the plain, no, you will have to climb mountains at a height of 500 meters above sea level, where these modest-looking butterflies are able to rise.

This postage stamp received a face value of 6 Lesotho sente and, like other postage stamps, we see a portrait of the king of Lesotho.

Let's take a look at this postage stamp.

I edited a photo in the program PhotoDirector, which I also installed on my smartphone.
For my publications, I do not use stock photographs, it is fundamentally important for me to use photographs that I have made with my own hands for publication and I can name them - authorial work.
