Ā Why keep insects as pets?
āWhy would anyone keep insects or even pet spiders?ā 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!

Thanks Bug Frenzy
Slender green orb weaver (Araneus talipedatus)Saul Aldridge
October 9, 2022 Arrived well packaged. Thank you. 
Flightless Fruit Flies (Drosophila melanogaster) CultureCrystal Austin
November 20, 2022 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. 
Red-headed jumping spider (Maratus griseus) 'Leopard form'Claire Goffey

25cm Feeding Tongs/TweezersPatricia Prykiel
November 25, 2022 Great little beginner enclosure for juvenile spoods 
Mini Clear View EnclosureJaime Orr
November 5, 2022 - I've got quite a few of these little enclosures at this point and I'm happy with every single one I've received. They're big enough to allow my tarantula slings to explore and the way the bottom is designed seems to encourage my burrowers to run their tunnels around the edge instead of disappearing into the middle. Visibility is great too, if you like to really see what your little spider is up to these are a good investment. Mini Clear View Enclosure

April 21, 2021 Box is fantastic. Appears to be very well constructed and and definitely big enough for a jumping spider and some decorations.
