A foreign butterfly has mistakenly been used on one of NZ Post’s latest stamp designs instead of a New Zealand butterfly the Red Admiral.
NZ Post has apologised for the blunder saying its lengthy processes failed to pick up that the stamp design was the V. atalanta butterfly and not the intended butterfly – the New Zealand Red Admiral.
The $2.40 stamp and is part of NZ Post’s latest release of postage stamps to mark the goal of Predator Free 2050.
Predator Free 2050 remove key predators from the New Zealand landscape in order to protect our native flora and fauna.
