Saint Helena (1995)

Date of issue: August 29th, 1995
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 1/5

This another very elegant series, the art work is outstanding. Take time to read the text on the souvenir sheet. It talks about the possible extinction of the giant earwig. It is quite sad, even sadder is that the site of the future airport is located at the only place where they could still possibly be.

Michel #: 667

Argyrodes mellissi (O. P.-Cambridge, 1869)

Argyrodes mellissi is also the emblem of the S.N.C.G. (Saint Helena Nature Conservation Group) that appears on the top part of the souvenir sheet of the earwig stamp.

Date of issue: 2017 (?)

Name of issue: World of wildlife
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 4/4

I am uncertain if this is a legit issue or not. It feels like a personalized valid postal stamp, many countries offer that option.

They are labelled as four Brachypelma smithi stamps, but the first one is clearly a Brachypelma boehmei. Also, the three others could potentially be Brachypelma hamorii.
