Thieves have stolen nearly 7,000 cockroaches, tarantula, frogs, snakes, spiders, millipedes and lizards from the Philadelphia Insectarium and Butterfly pavilion in US. The security footage revealed three uniformed employees carrying out insects out of that building for a few days in August. John Cambridge said the employees didn't show up after the theft and the collection was worth nearly $40,000.
