Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 12/12
This is a very exciting entry for me. Some time ago, while I was doing some "Google" spider stamp research (yes, I think it is obvious by now, I am a dork), I found this
lovely series of stamps.
The stamps are designed by artist
Carl T. Chew of Triangle Post. They were designed for Russian artist
Gik Juri and his country "Dadahomeya".
I immediately thought how much these would make an amazing addition to my stamp collection. I do not only collect legal postage stamps, but also cinderellas, 5th world, art stamps, etc.
I much more rejoice at having the gorgeous artwork of these stamps then a lot of awful legal postage stamps that clearly no efforts were put in their creation.
Anyhow, apparently the Triangle Spider is the national arachnid of Dadahomeya. I think all countries should designate a national arachnid!!
The design looks inspired from the
Micrathena genus. The sheet has 20 stamps, but only 12 are unique, some are repeated on the sheet.
I would like to sincerely thank Mr. Chew for sending me these amazing stamps. I even received a signed sheet with my name on it... like a kid on Christmas day!!!! The stamps were also sent in a gorgeous envelope and some spider stamps were used on it, with a special spider cancellation. This truly is among my favourite items in my collection!
