Dominican Republic (2013)

Date of issue: 2013
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 4/4

I always get excited when I find a new arachnid series, but this one just made my year! The stamps themselves are horrible, but it is extremely rare that any of the arachnid micro-orders get any recognition.

This is the first uropygi stamp ever issued and the second amblypygi stamp that is legal (the first one is from Guinea).
