OK, so I'm going to the Philippines in a few weeks and I was trying to get some advice on trying to get these here. They are basically like any orb weaver found here, but are quite aggressive and will immediately fight any other spider they come in contact with. Instead of 2 white dots on the underside they have a red or orange spot on the underside. There are several species, none of which are endangered. It is an unofficial "sport" of the country.
I read in the regulations forum as well as the following link that arachnids are allowed unrestricted entry to the US. But I'm worried about needing some kind of documentation that I don't know about, or that I might need something else, form, permit, etc., for the Philippines and it's airports.

I was thinking of having them in my carry on luggage in simple containers, nothing fancy. Would it look/be bad in a US or Philippine airport to have a few spiders? I plan to take more than I can claim got there as an accident, like maybe at least 5 adults (pregnant females hopefully) and maybe an egg case or two if I can find them.
