Airport staff in the Philippines found 119 live tarantula spiders hidden inside a pair of shoes. According to a Facebook post by the Bureau of Customs, staff members at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) found the spiders inside a parcel shipped by a certain "Michal Krolicki" from Poland. The parcel was addressed to a consignee in General Trias, Cavite.

It was intercepted on October 28 when customs officials noticed that the parcel was oddly shaped. Through the vigilance of Customs operatives and examiners, the package yielded suspicious images, and was subjected to physical examination. Upon opening the parcel, they found 119 tarantulas tucked inside small plastic vials. The vials were hidden inside a pair of Asics running shoes.
