All "Deluxe" souvenir sheets like this were produced by the British counterfeit producer. This series taken from the Stamperija produced Butterflies of Africa series. How the counterfeiter obtained the source imagery is unclear. These counterfeit deluxe sheets were never offered on the Stamperija website and were and are only offered by the British counterfeiter and his associated counterfeit distributors. Stamperija standard for virtually all deluxe sheet sets they made have completely different background images on each value of a series, so quite easy to define the counterfeit "deluxe" souvenir sheets. BEWARE of fake color proof sets. Anyone selling these should be avoided!Also in the issue Butterflies (2012):

Souvenir Sheet Butterflies of Africa it reflects the thematic directions:
Lepidoptera or lepidopterans is an order of winged insects which includes butterflies and moths. About 180,000 species of the Lepidoptera have been described, representing 10% of the total described species of living organisms, making it the second largest insect order (behind Coleoptera) with 126 families and 46 superfamilies, and one of the most widespread and widely recognizable insect orders in the world
Insects (from Latin insectum, a calque of Greek ἔντομον [éntomon], "cut into sections") are a class (Insecta) of hexapod invertebrates within the arthropod phylum that have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes and one pair of antennae. They are the most diverse group of animals on the planet, including more than a million described species and representing more than half of all known living organisms. The number of extant species is estimated at between six and ten million, and potentially represent over 90% of the differing animal life forms on Earth. Insects may be found in nearly all environments, although only a small number of species reside in the oceans, a habitat dominated by another arthropod group, crustaceans. The life cycles of insects vary but most hatch from eggs. Insect growth is constrained by the inelastic exoskeleton and development involves a series of molts. The immature stages can differ from the adults in structure, habit and habitat, and can include a passive pupal stage in those groups that undergo 4-stage metamorphosis (see holometabolism). Insects that undergo 3-stage metamorphosis lack a pupal stage and adults develop through a series of nymphal stages. The higher level relationship of the Hexapoda is unclear. Fossilized insects of enormous size have been found from the Paleozoic Era, including giant dragonflies with wingspans of 55 to 70 cm (22–28 in). The most diverse insect groups appear to have coevolved with flowerin plants.
