Zimbabwe 1983 Definitive Series, Insects

Zimbabwe · 1983 · 1c, 2c, 3c, 4c

This definitive set features four low-value stamps showcasing the diverse insect life of Zimbabwe. The designs depict a Citrus Swallowtail butterfly (1c), a Death's-head Hawkmoth (2c), a Jewel Beetle (3c), and a Grasshopper (4c). The detailed illustrations highlight the country's rich natural biodiversity.

Issued in 1983, this set was part of a larger definitive series released in the early years of Zimbabwe's independence, replacing the previous Rhodesian currency and stamp designs.
