We love bugs!
Bug Frenzy is a family business based in South Australia. All our invertebrates are either captive bred, or sustainably and ethically sourced. We love bugs and want to encourage that love in others, to educate and ensure that these wonderful creatures will be here for generations to come. 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!
– Your one stop bug and invertebrates shop –
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!

Blue-Legged Tarantula (Phlogius PQ113) Advanced slings/ small juviesHelen Wallace
May 22, 2022 Very active and defensive as be warned. Absolutely beautiful with red and black colours. Great size. Not as big as my adult Tarantulas, but still massive. Highly recommended Bug Frenzy 😁 
Giant wishbone spider (Aname sp. 1)Channarong Kiettipipat
December 2, 2020 Definitely worth it for the price!! It might be small but it's well made, amazing quality, and came with everything I needed for my little jumping spider. It's perfect.

November 19, 2021 - Very cute and active little fella! Ferocious eater. Definitely one of my favourite jumpers
Bat Peacock jumping spider (Maratus vespertillio) MaleJordan Smith
November 10, 2021 Love this little guy/gal already. Package was delayed by 4ish days, at no fault to BugFrenzy, but due to the expert packaging, my spider is still alive and happy. Only wish is that they included a printout with care instructions and maybe even some facts/info on the type of spider/insect it is. Maybe that could be something included in future orders. I think it would be cool to receive that especially for first time owners. But all in all can't wait for this guy/gal to grow.

Tall Bug Box - with side doorPatricia Prykiel
November 25, 2022 Glen - the formerly unnamed centipede was bought for my bug loving 15 year old. Glen arrived safe and sound, had his habitat box included so was easy to set up. He then had fun roaming around it, munched on a cricket we supplied, then hid under the provided bark.
Love buying from Bug Frenzy, very happy with purchases and support. Would highly recommend to others.
Giant Tiger centipede (Ethmostigmus rubripes) juvenilesJanis Littleton
July 30, 2022 - Fantastic customer service that was both friendly and helpful. Easy to place an order, and spider and equipment arrived safely packaged and well protected for the short journey. Dante (spider's name) very friendly and fun to watch, proof of good captive breeding. Very happy with our purchases, looking forward to shopping here again soon.

June 28, 2022 Absolutely Great, Best price by a mile!
Exactly what I needed.
Fast shipping, I received my order 3 days after purchasing in perfect condition.
I also purchased the acrylic sliding lid to match, it works like a dream.
My Tarantula has already moved in and has heavily webbed the entire enclosure!
I brought everything I needed to move my T into its new home With no issues.
Couldn’t ask for more!
Thank you BugFrenzy!
