We stock a range of insects – from Scorpions to Stick Insects, Pet Spiders and Roaches and everything inbetween!
We have Australia’s largest selection of invertebrates!

From scorpions to spiders, live crickets and other insects from Australia – we have the bugs that you want.

Why keep insects as pets?
“Why would anyone keep insects or even pet spiders?” you might ask. Personally I love the beautiful, strange shape of insects, their colours, diversity, unusual behaviour and interesting life cycle. And luckily, many other people all over the world discover the fun in keeping insects as pets!
Invertebrates such as praying mantids and stick insects are fascinating and quite practical pets. They come in beautiful shapes and colours. It is fascinating to see the animals hunt, grow, molt, lay eggs and see their methods of camouflage and defenses.
An additional practical advantage, is their modest requirements for housing, care and food. Compared to common pets like cats, dogs, rodents and birds they require less time and space. They are also harmless, allergy-free and their food is less expensive than the food of most commons pets. All this makes them an increasingly popular group of animals to keep as pets, for young and old people alike!

Flinders ranges scorpion (Urodacus elongatus Juvies/Sub-adultsTobias
June 9, 2022 - This is the only Jumper I've had that is happier on my hand than in its enclosure and very funny, it randomly jumps strait up in the air and then calmly looks around like "what happened" SO FUNNY 🙂
BUT at the same time she easily takes down crickets bigger than she is, WOW!
You want a happy to be handled and very entertaining jumping spider this is a GREAT option.
Thanks Bug Frenzy!

September 21, 2022 Thank you so much for my Bug Box! Very well made. This is perfect for jumping spiders, as they like to make their webs UP top, and I know that when I open the door I’m not going to break their little webs. Very happy with my purchase and I’d definitely buy another one!

August 20, 2021 As in the description, this spider is very much calm. She can hop onto my hand and I'm not really worried about her bolting away (always just have to be careful with them). I'm happy she arrived safely and looks like she was fed very well! Absolutely adore her!
