Giant Beetles discovered at Pennsylvania Post Office

This is one of the strangest and dumbest move for somebody who wants to attack the the U.S. Agriculture.  

Somebody from Taiwan sent a package labeled with Toys and Jellies to Mohnton Post Office about 50 miles from Philadelphia.  The Posmster believed that there are live organisms inside and notified the authorities.  The U.S. customs x-rayed and opened the box and it contained 2 dozen giant beetles with sizes ranging from 5 to 6 inches. 

Why would somebody do that! It’s illegal, it’s unacceptable and it’s obviously a strange tactic to attack the U.S. Agriculture because these type of beetles are destructive to vegetables and fruits. 

Don’t they know they can get caught by the U.S. customs?  By the way the sender was identified.  Good thing the Postmaster was alert.  Kudos to USPS!

What would’ve happen to our food if it were infested by giant beetles.  Kinda like a Scifi movie! 

But hey, it could’ve been serious.  I don’t want any giant beetle eggs in my strawberries or celery.
