I was extremely excited when I had discovered this issue. It was the first time I had found one showing an arachnid of the Thelyphonida order (often called uropygid, or vinegaroon). Of course, it was too good to be true as it is a false issue. Would have been odd for an African country to issue a souvenir sheet showing a scenery of the American South-West (you can clearly see a Gila Monster). Because of the setting, I presume the arachnid shown is a Mastigoproctus giganteus.
