Burundi (2014)

Date of issue: 2014
Name of issue: Araignées du Burundi (Spiders of Burundi)
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 4/4

This issue is called "spiders" despite the fact that there is an amblypygi stamp in it. The good thing is that there is no web in the background of the Damon medius stamp.

This issue comes on two different souvenir sheets. A big one with extra arachnids on the sheet and a small one with the four arachnids of the stamps reproduced in the butter.

Canada (1990)

Date of issue: July 12th, 1990
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 0/4

OK, some say I am exagerating with this one! Anyhow, I guess I am just sad that my own country will not acknowledge our arachnid fauna. This is the closest to a Canadian arachnid stamp there is, a fossil of Eurypterus remipes (sea scorpion), a chelicerate (not an arachnid though).

Michel #: 1190
subphylum: Chelicerata
family: †Eurypteridae
Eurypterus remipes De Kay, 1825

Canada (1997)

Date of issue: October 1st, 1997
Name of issue: The Supernatural
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 0/4

At last, I found a Canadian series with something arachnid related to it. This is a great looking series about supernatural creatures. On the full sheet, in the lower right corner, there is a spider web.

Michel #: 1643 - 1646
category: Web only

Crop of the gutter:

The full sheet comes in a folder showing an old house. Through the windows, you can see each of the four stamps showing through the holes.

And the interior unfolds and gives some information in French and English about those supernatural beings!
