Saint Vincent - Union Island* (2012)

Date of issue: 2012
Name of issue: Spiders
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 4/4

I suspected this could be a cinderella issue, but the quality of the layout and the drawings left me perplex and the lack of quality on the research of the names kept me wondering. It would appear that, by my latest finding, it is a legit issue.

Interesting thing about this series, they used two species that are now synonymised: Epeira minax and Epeira variolata both now Eriophora ravilla.
