Kyrgyzstan (2016)

Date of issue: 2016
Name of issue: Fauna of Kyrgyzstan - Spiders
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 4/4

This series should have been called "Fauna of Kyrgyzstan - Arachnids" since there are only two spiders out of four stamps!

The second stamp clearly shows a Latrodectus cf. tredecimguttatus, but it is labelled as Eresus collari ("collari" is misspelled, it should be "kollari").
