A Berks County man has been charged with "unauthorized movement of plant pests" by federal authorities after he allegedly imported 25 giant beetles from Taiwan without a permit.
Marc DiLullo, 36, of Birdsboro, could face up to one year in jail, plus one year on probation and a $100,000 fine if found guilty.
Someone in Taiwan mailed the package to DiLullo and he tried to pick it up at a rural Berks County post office in May.
Alert postal workers opened the package, labeled "toys, gifts and jellies," after they heard something crawling around inside.
