Sierre Leone (2019)

Date of issue: 2019
Name of issue: 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 DjiboutiGuineaMozambiqueNiger, Togo if you do not mind your eyes bleeding a little bit!

The picture of the Loxosceles laeta is clearly not a Loxosceles species, looks more like a Latrodectus species.
