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).

Hi, nice blog, I am the photographer who took the pictures of these arachnids and I think the same, the stamps are horrible because they photoshop my pictures removing the background, it's a mess !!! Anyway if you want to see the originals visit my blog about the spiders of Dominican Republic.
