    Federal inspectors found some unwanted visitors in baggage at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport - the destructive Khapra beetle.

    U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials say the agricultural pest was recently found in the belongings of two international travelers.

    Khapra beetle cast skins were found June 27 inside sealed plastic bags of rice, spices and dried hibiscus brought by a traveler from Iraq. Beetles also were discovered July 8 in baggage arriving from India.
