Laos Insects and Fauna, 1982

Laos · 1982 · Multiple

This set of seven stamps from Laos showcases the country's diverse insect life. The designs feature various species, including the Atlas Moth (Attacus atlas), the Five-horned Rhinoceros Beetle (Eupatorus gracilicornis), and the Common Mormon butterfly (Papilio polytes). Each stamp vividly illustrates a different insect against a simple, colored background, highlighting the beauty and variety of Laotian fauna.

Issued in 1982 by the Lao People's Democratic Republic, this set reflects a common philatelic trend of the era, where countries issued colorful topical stamps depicting native flora and fauna to appeal to international collectors.
