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!

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!

September 23, 2021 Absolutely LOVE her! She came super healthy and full of energy. She began eating immediately and is always jumping about. Put her in a 30×21×21 enclosure to give her tonnes of room and she loves running around. 
Red-headed hopper (Maratus griseus) regular formChloe Johnson
January 14, 2022 Came well packaged with plenty of sphagnum moss to protect the spider and a cool pack to help with the heat during travel. I got a male that's healthy and very curious. He even spent a little time watching me back before continuing to explore his enclosure and having a cricket sized snack.
10/10 will be buying more wolf spiders from here to fuel my obsession!
