This striking 1971 issue from the Democratic Republic of Congo features Cicindela regalis, a vividly colored tiger beetle known for its speed and predatory nature. The detailed illustration highlights the insect’s elongated legs, powerful mandibles, and distinctive orange-and-black patterned wing covers. Designed by J. Van Noten and printed by Courvoisier S.A., the stamp reflects the era’s strong emphasis on scientific and natural history themes. The clean, minimal background enhances the beetle’s intricate form, making it visually prominent. This issue is part of a broader series celebrating African insect biodiversity. It is highly appealing to thematic collectors of entomology and wildlife.
