CHENNAI: A bid to smuggle live spiders belonging to an endangered species, was foiled by the Air Customs after a parcel from Poland was seized from the Foreign Post Office here. The spiders, listed as endangered by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), were packed in a parcel and posted to an Aruppukottai-based person.
