Yes, it is completely legal in Europe.

I asked that because I saw a lot of people with a lot of species which were not native to their country. Is there really no law for trasporting live insects between countries?

Wait, not all Ant's 

 

Formica rufa!

 

We are not allowed to keep or send protected animals by law of any sort.

 

But a yes if not a threatened animal, insect etc etc, I can freely import Tarantulas from any EU Country.

 

Oh and I think bees are on the no no list to ;).

 

Actually that gives me an idea for a post.
