Lesotho is the landlocked country surrounded by South Africa in the circumference, and since the whole country is located at high ground with an above sea level of 1000m or more, climate is warm. It became independent of Britain as a constitutional monarchy which makes a king a sovereign in 1966.
Four kinds of insect stamps were issued from this Lesotho in 1978.
One piece of small seat including six kinds of insect stamps and one piece of small seat including one kind of a spider stamp were issued in 2002.
