Mozambique (1980)

Date of issue: January 29th, 1980
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 6/6

This has to be one of my favourite issues of all time. I am always delighted when I find at least a stamp with something different than a spider or a scorpion. This series "honours" or good friends the wonderful ticks! They even show the animals that they parasite.
