Largest insect heist ever.

Nearly 7000 spiders and insects were stolen from the Philadelphia Insectarium and Butterfly Pavilion over four days in late August. The haul was 80% of the institution’s collection. CCTV footage revealed the heist was an inside job involving a museum director and other employees, who scooped out the creatures from their tanks, transferred them to boxes, then left with them in their personal vehicles. It turns out the exotic pet industry is in high demand at the moment – a Mexican fireleg tarantula can fetch a price of $250 and a mating pair of Rhinoceros cockroaches are worth $500. Police estimate the haul is worth between $30,000 and $50,00.
