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!

Very good looking spider and very active to 
Union-Jack wolf spider (Tasmanicosa gilberta)Chris Hall
October 16, 2022 Came in good condition and well packaged as always. The pedeling is missing a terminal leg, however, with the next moult it will grow back so no biggie. I’ve had it for two days now and it hasn’t eaten, perhaps indicating it’s in a pre-moult. It appears to be a heavy burrowing species and it stays hidden away most of the day.. yet to see it at night when it is primarily active 
Orange-footed centipede (Cormocephalus aurantiipes) Captive-bred pedelingsJoshua Ison
August 6, 2021 Excellent little guy, despite the missing leg. Lovely colours

October 23, 2022 - I've had my Bruce for about a week now and the guy is a great eater. Any cricket I put in his enclosure is in his mouth within seconds. He is also very extroverted and rarely out of site. Thanks for the great spider, Bug Frenzy! Union-Jack wolf spider (Tasmanicosa gilberta)
