GB Butterflies Stamp Set MNH 2013

Description

Detailed Description
It is a stock image only.  If you want to see the picture of the actual stamp(s), please check with me before you bid or place the order.
The delicate beauty of our featured Butterflies has been captured by wildlife artist Richard Lewington, creating ten lovely stamps that are brought to you in pristine condition. Unusually for our subjects, these fascinating creatures are barely larger than postage stamps in real life, making the Mint Stamps a delight for philatelists and lepidopterists alike.
Comma
With distinctively ragged wings and white ‘commas’ beneath, it was once rare but now common.
Purple Emperor
The males of this elusive species have an electric purple sheen, which isn’t present in females.
Orange-tip
Males have bright orange wing-tips and wander through the countryside in search of a mate.
Marsh Fritillary
This attractive, chequered butterfly makes its home amidst damp meadows and flowery downland.
Chalkhill Blue
Groups of milky blue males can often be seen feeding from deep purple flowers in high summer.
Red Admiral
An immigrant from warmer climes, this dazzling butterfly is drawn to equally colourful flowers.
Small Copper
Males are surprisingly territorial, while females search for sorrel or dock on which to lay eggs.
Brimstone
One of the first butterflies of spring, its name is taken from the sulphur yellow of the male’s wings.
Swallowtail
The UK’s largest species, it is most commonly found fluttering above reed beds and open water.
Marbled White
This sedentary butterfly is most commonly seen in high summer, soaking up the sun’s rays.

Important tips to save shipping fee -
If you are purchasing multiple stamps through "Buy it now" option, please make sure
all the items
are in the basket before any payment.  Please review the invoice carefully to ensure all the items are listed there so that eBay System can apply the combined shipping discount properly.
Otherwise, eBay / PayPal will charge the FULL shipping fee for each item and they withhold the transaction fee & commission based on FULL shipping payment.  There is no easy way to refund the difference unless we cancel all the transactions one by one.
If you have any question, please check with me before any payment.
