Glitter bomb tricks parcel thieves

Sounds like you hypothetically need something which is inherently dangerous (scorpions) but not purposefully dangerous to the person who opens it (drone scheduled to attack package owner).

As an aside, I don’t know if it legal to ship scorpions.

This adds nothing to the conversation but I absolutely cannot resist sharing this gem that I ran into a few days ago: https://dollarscorpionclub.com (It just seems too appropriate not to share.)

That's easy, simply refer to Exhibit 526.5: Restrictions on Mailing Live Scorpions https://pe.usps.com/text/pub52/pub52c5_008.htm#ep203359

How wonderful, yet disappointingly sufficient. Coincidentally, as suggested in the rules, writing “Live scorpions” will probably deter people anyway.

But is it legal to store them in a box on my porch?

What about a big box of 'roaches? And the camera of course, that would be comedy gold.
