Name of issue: Endangered species
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 3/12
It is my understanding that every year (for quite a few years now), the United Nations issue a series on endangered species. In 2009, they had one about arthropods.
Note the CITES logo on the full sheet. Unless it has been added recently, as far as I know, Dolomedes plantarius is not on CITES. But it is threatened by habitat loss.
