Chuvashia* (2011)

Date of issue: 2011
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 16/16
                                                                        

Note that this issues contains the four same artwork with four different values, hence the 16 different stamps.

Another one of those local/cinderella issues from a former Soviet Union territory (see also Abkhazia, Batumi and Khakassia). For more information on Chuvashia, click HERE

I am told these stamps are accepted for local postage, even within the whole of the Russian Federation.

Colombia (1975)

Date of issue: March 12th, 1975
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 1/4

Good luck finding the spider on this one! It is in the upper right corner, but I have included a crop for your convenience. Not the most convincing spider, but still I would assume it is meant to be one with that web looking structure (looks more like a net though!).
