Togo (2019)

Date of issue: 2019

Name of issue: Les araignées (Spiders)
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 5/5

Stamps are like wine, there are some good years and some very bad year. 2019 was an abysmal one with all those horrible picture stamps, almost seems like several countries all conspired to insult philately! See Djibouti, Mozambique, Niger, Sierra Leone if you do not mind your eyes bleeding a little bit!

This is one step downwards with simply no research made what so ever. Two Theraphosidae stamps that show araneomorph webbing, same problem with the Theridiidae stamp. But the best is the amblypygi one, not only are they not spiders (do not belong with the title of the series) they also have no silk glands!
