AI Summary:
\ Customs officials in Germany release photos from a seizure of 1,500 young tarantulas. They found the shipment at Cologne Bonn airport in a package that had arrived from Vietnam. Many of the eight-legged creatures didn't survive the trip, a suspected violation of German animal-welfare rules. Two teens were found with 5,000 ants in their guesthouse. The court sentenced them to either a fine of $7,700 (€6,775) or 12 months in prison.
