This FAUNA stamp from Brazil depict a stamps with a
Luminous mound (cupinzeiro in portuguese). These termite mounds can grow quite large with diameters up to 30 meters, and towers reaching heights of 7 meters or more. Not only do they provide a home for up to several million termites, they’re also used as nesting sites for the Buff-breasted Paradise-Kingfisher and as home to hundreds of glowing Pyrophorus beetle larvae. At night, the termite mounds look like they’re wrapped in Christmas lights. These luminous mounds can be find at Emas National Park, a part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site called
Cerrado Protected Areas.
