Last month, a 27-year-old Japanese man was arrested at an airport in Sao Paulo, Brazil, for trying to take 99 beetles and other insects out of the country without permission.
According to Brazilian police, the insects were kept alive in plastic containers and hidden in a suitcase, covered with ice to keep the temperature low, but were found during airport X-ray examinations.
According to police, the man said, "I collect insects for my hobby and bought them for $ 500. If I sell them outside Brazil, I can sell them for more than three times the purchase price."
The man was released, but his passport was removed and he was unable to leave the country, and he was asked to appear in a court in Sao Paulo.
Local media and others have reported that men have attempted to illegally bring small animals out of Brazil in the past.
