Made me laugh thinking about the fella who opened the initial package.

article said:

The probe began last March when customs officers found 300 live tarantulas during a routine search of a package.

Perhaps more a web of deceit than a sting operation?

This story has legs.

Not sure which is funnier. This;
"Koppler added that he could in theory smuggle tarantulas in his luggage when flying to Los Angeles, and would not be caught nine times out of 10 - but he preferred not to take the risk."
Or this;
"I am a foreigner and they will probably put me in prison. You have special laws. "You have other laws that we don't have" in Germany, he said, according to the affidavit."

Or this:





"20 years for smuggling spiders?? WTF?? What if I just stamped on them???"
