This is so totally disgusting. It just makes my skin crawl thinking about those large bugs.

W0W!N YUK!
Why on earth would anyone want to get bugs sent to them.
I call that weird.

They need to send them back to the sender and make them eat them. they are very invasive and dangerous.

You'd probably have a seizure then if you saw the larva of one of these beetles.

Outstanding ! Nothing like a 59 gram grub to freak humans out .

Ways to destroy United States agriculture have always been in the back of my mind, This is a fine example of a way of terrorism. There is more then one way to harm a country,Look at the fish that came from no where. Will they figure out this before it's to late,Water sources!

What were the intentions of the person who ordered them? To inject them with anthrax and set them free on our land? I think he should have been arrested promptly. Obviously, he knew they were illegal if the boxes were labeled as toys, etc. Unfreakin real!

Most introduced species are accidental , usually the result of someone setting a non native species free.

Your reasoning is ridiculous . The beetles weren't sent here for terrorist purposes. LOL .
