Spider smuggling is on the rise, driven by their high commercial value and research interest in their venom. A single spider can fetch as much as €500, and venom compounds are being studied for potential treatments for pain, neurological disorders and damage caused by oxygen deprivation. A 2022 study counted around 1,264 species of spiders and scorpions in commercial trade; 67% had been collected from the wild, while CITES covered only about 2% of the species recorded.
