120 (Greenbottle Blue, Mexican Bloodleg and Chaco Golden Knee) Tarantulas packaged in pill bottles, straws and water bottles were brought into the STAR ECO Station, a Los Angeles area environmental science museum and exotic wildlife rescue facility, by U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife services who partners with the facility to rescue other exotic wildlife.

The Department of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services were contacted regarding a breeder who had hidden about 120 spiders. Upon receipt of this special delivery, STAR ECO Station was called to the rescue to house the eight-legged critters.

Four adult Tarantulas and 116 babies were contained in drinking straws and pharmacy pill containers. The Spidy tots were packaged in straws of various sizes and the 4 adults were transported in a half cut water bottles. The Arachna-residents will reside in a special tank especially sized for the new tenants of the rescue facility.

Officials at The Department of U.S. Fish and Wildlife are currently investigating the matter.

Come check the little critters out this summer!
