Woman leaves package of 20 tarantulas on German train

On a regional train traveling from Herrenberg to Tübingen, Germany, a passenger left behind a package containing 20 Brazilian Avicularia geroldi tarantulas. The train driver discovered the parcel, which was labeled with the words "spiders and scorpions," and immediately notified the authorities. Police officials launched an investigation into the matter to locate the owner of the unusual cargo. The owner was identified and successfully retrieved her package later that same day. She explained that she had simply forgotten the box on the train, though she provided no further context for her travel. German authorities confirmed that the transport of the arachnids did not violate any laws. No injuries or incidents occurred during the process, and the spiders were safely returned to their owner.
