Who's Breeding Gigantic Beetles?

Not long ago, a suspicious package arrived at the Mohnton, Pennsylvania post office. The return address was a town in Taiwan and its contents were listed as "toys, gifts, and jellies." Yet something was moving around and scratching inside of the box, and the local postmaster was pretty sure that it wasn't fruit preserves.

The package was sent to Philadelphia where it was X-rayed. Inside, customs officials found more than two dozen enormous Hercules, rhinoceros and Goliath beetles--all five to six inches in diameter. Many of the beetles were labeled by gender, which means the recipient was probably intending to breed them.

Of course in Japan, these types of bugs are used in beetle battles. Is it possible that the (not so) bloody sport is already being played in hidden rooms across America?
