CHANGSHA: Central Chinese customs said Monday they have seized poisonous live ants from a parcel shipped from overseas.
Customs officials in Changsha, capital of Hunan Province, said they found four test tubes inside a parcel containing seven ants, probably purchased by domestic pet ant lovers.
A lab identification suggested the ants belong to four genera native to Australia and not distributed in China.
They are large in size, highly aggressive and toxic, according to the customs. –Agencies
