Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Considering the Lacey Act's very broad definition of "wildlife", it'd seem that even boxes containing feeder roaches should be appropriately labeled. Assuming that it was shipped across state lines.

B. Lacey Act Prohibitions
1. Marking Offenses
The Lacey Act requires wildlife shipments traveling in interstate or foreign commerce to be accurately marked, but it addresses this issue in two separate subsections, [FN193] whose coverage is inconsistent and whose penalties are substantially different.
a. Failure to Plainly Mark or Label Containers of Fish or Wildlife
Section 3372(b) [FN194] prohibits the import, export, or transport in interstate commerce of any container of wildlife or fish that is not plainly marked, labeled, or tagged as required by the applicable regulations. [FN195] This section is notable for two reasons. First, violators of section 3372(b) are subject only to a civil fine of up to $250; no criminal sanction is prescribed. [FN196] Second, this section applies only to containers of fish and wildlife; neither the statute nor the applicable regulations contain any requirement that containers of plants be plainly marked, tagged, or labeled. [FN197]

Here's how it defines "wildlife".
Quote:
2. Coverage of Fish, Wildlife, and Plants
The first step in analyzing a potential Lacey Act violation is to determine whether the wildlife, fish, or plant at issue is covered by the Act. The Act defines the terms "fish or wildlife" broadly:
(A)ny wild animal, whether alive or dead, including without limitation any wild mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian, fish, mollusk, crustacean, arthropod, coelenterate, or other invertebrate, whether or not bred, hatched, or born in captivity, and includes any part, product, egg or offspring thereof. [FN185]
