Name of issue: Araignées du Burundi (Spiders of Burundi)
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 4/4
This issue is called "spiders" despite the fact that there is an amblypygi stamp in it. The good thing is that there is no web in the background of the Damon medius stamp.
This issue comes on two different souvenir sheets. A big one with extra arachnids on the sheet and a small one with the four arachnids of the stamps reproduced in the butter.
