    Man caught trying to smuggle nearly 100 tarantulas at Cayenne airport

    Customs officials caught a Polish man was after trying to smuggle nearly 100 tarantula spiders in his luggage, at Cayenne Airport, French Guiana, regional officials told Saturday. The prefecture said the man attempted to carry a bag containing 38 adults and some 50 young as well as dozens of egg-filled cocoons through the airport at Cayenne, the capital of the French overseas department bordering Brazil and Surinam. He was arrested on Sunday, August 25 as he prepared to board a flight to Paris, having packed the creatures “in plastic bottles” hidden among his luggage, the prefecture said.

    Officials said the man had described himself as “passionate about insects.” According to French wildlife protection agency ONCFS, “the transport of (live) scorpions and tarantulas” is not forbidden wholesale but “regulated.” But certain species – including some tarantulas – enjoy special protected status. Insect collectors from around the world come to French Guiana whose biodiversity hugely outstrips that of metropolitan France.
