Hong Kong customs intercepts live insect smuggling at Lo Wu checkpoint

Hong Kong customs seized 200 crickets and 13kg of dubia roaches from two travellers at Lo Wu in separate incidents, allegedly for reptile feed. The seizures are routine enforcement, but highlight ongoing smuggling of live insects across the border. No broader market or geopolitical impact.
