Chad (1974)

Date of issue: September 3rd, 1974
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 2/6

This is one of my all times favourite issue. The artwork is gorgeous. It also contains the oldest acari stamp and the olderst solifugae stamp! These are still uncommon subjects, but to have them in 1974 is spectacular!
