Palau (1998)

Date of issue: November 30th, 1998
Name of issue: A Bug's Life
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 2/20

 I had known for a few years that Palau had a series about the Disney-Pixmar movie A Bug's Life, but I was never able to get a proper scan to see if Rosie (the black widow character) appeared on any of the stamps.

I was finally able to confirm that she indeed was on at least one souvenir sheet, so I purchase the series. I was delighted to find out that she is actually on two stamps and two souvenir sheets.
