Finland (2003)

Date of issue: 2003
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 1/6

I had found this series a while back, but I could not locate any spiders on it. I could only find poor quality scans of it. Recently, I was able to find better quality scans and found a yellow crab spider on a yellow flower.

Georgia (1994)

Date of issue: 1994
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 1/16


Interesting issue I just discovered thanks to the high resolution scan of the seller. I was able to find a scorpion in this very heavy art work. When I got the item, I was able to find also a spider on the same stamp. That spider is much harder to spot, located right over the "I" and the "A" of "GEORGIA" at the bottom right.
