Solomon Islands (2013b)

Date of issue: 2013
Name of issue: Australian fauna - Huntsman spiders
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 5/60

2013 is turning out to be a very prolific year for arachnid stamps. Cook Island had the great idea to have five stamps dedicated to huntsman spiders in their series called "Australia Fauna". My gripe with this series (as always, I need to complain about something) is that the artist seems to have forgotten or ignore why these spiders are called "huntsman". On every stamp, he has drawn a very distinct spider web, reminiscent of what orb weavers would construct.
