The stamps are attractive, and I believe that it will be a hot issue for many collectors in Malaysia. I was told that the booklet was completely sold out on the first day of issue. Anyway, there is a mistake on this issue. All the stamps depict butterflies (not moths), and the word "butterflies" appearing on miniature sheet, booklet cover, first day cover and other printed materials is correct. Nevertheless, the word "rama-rama" (malay word) is incorrect. "Rama-rama" is moth! The correct translation for butterflies should be "kupu-kupu".
