Tanzania (1991)

Date of issue: February 20th, 1991
Name of issue: Mickey Mouse as an actor

Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 0/10

I found this one thanks to a very attentive German stamp dealer that listed it as having a spider. Indeed, there is a spider on the souvenir sheet with the mummy.
