Smuggling contraband into a country is a dirty business, especially when the goods being illegally transported are things like drugs or weapons. A man in the Philippines has been caught smuggling goods from Poland in boxes made to look like they contained cookies and other tasty treats.

As Associated Press reports, the gift-wrapped boxes contained new fewer than 757 live tarantulas, all of which were bound for new homes in the Philippines. The arachnids, which were being brought in to be sold illegally to collectors and enthusiasts, have now landed the recipient in a heap of trouble.
