On Wednesday, officials disclosed that 26 giant, live beetles were packed in a box sent from Taiwan to the Mohnton, Pa., Post Office. Dr. Christopher Sacchi, a professor of biology at Kutztown University who specializes in plant and insect interaction, said the introduction of such foreign species is a serious cause for concern. He said scientists around the world spend countless hours trying to calculate the risk of exposing exotic species to native habitats.
