Mozambique (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.

Mozambique (2007)

Date of issue: 2007
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 7/189?

Another never ending series with tons of sheets. I had seen this one listed on a German dealer website. It was listed as frogs and scorpions. I could not understand why as the theme of the stamps is clearly frogs. I finally found a higher quality scan and discovered there is a scorpion at the tip of the African continent on the map. On the last stamp, the scorpion is partially hidden by the frog.

Anyhow, since I am also fascinated by frogs, I did not mind so much aquiring this series. Also note that there is a Pompilidae stamp on a different sheet.
