Suitcases containing nearly 1,000 live spiders seized at Rio airport where a Briton was arrested
A Briton has been arrested with two suitcases containing nearly 1,000 live spiders at Rio airport, police in Brazil have said.
The man was stopped by federal police officers and agents from the Brazilian Institute for Environment and Renewable Resources.
He could face a fine of up to four million reais (£1.39 million).
The spiders were taken to the National Museum where they will be examined by experts and catalogued according to species.
The man was arrested on November 11.
Police named the man as Lee Ardern, 26.
He is thought to run The Spider Shop, based in Cardigan, West Wales.
Police later revised the total number of spiders to 900 and described them as bird-eating spiders.
They said the Briton's luggage was selected for a random search and police found the spiders in boxes inside the suitcases.

Aparantly it was all above board , he had all the required paper work for the spiders. his flight was diverted from paraquay to Brazil so his paper work was deemed invalid.
im not gonna judge lee as i dont know the facts , only what ive heard on the net and in newspapers
still bloody mad eh?
