EDMONTON--Border services officers at Edmonton International Airport say they found two live tarantulas on separate dates—one hidden in a plastic container and the other inside a children’s toy—in incoming packages from Hong Kong.
On May 12, 2023, CBSA officers saw irregularities in a small package from Hong Kong and found a male tarantula hidden inside a plastic container, said an Aug. 14 news release issued by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
