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!

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!

Awesome little guy, ate some fruit flies straight away! Thank you 🙂 
Five-spined Stick Mantis (Archimantis quinquelobata) nymphsIsaac
September 17, 2022 Tiny little thing but feisty. Wanted to box on with my hand as I was moving it into its enclosure (settle down buddy, you're the size of a sewing needle...). Very active and so cute, can't wait to see it grow up! Five-spined Stick Mantis (Archimantis quinquelobata) nymphsCassandra Longley

Unfortunately this one was sold out…never mind I’ll get it next time they’re available. 
Variable wolf spider (Venator spenceri)Sarina Sturgess

It's a good simple cup to keep your small bugs in temporarily. I use it when I have to clean up the bigger terrariums. But keep in mind that screw lid may not be suitable for insects who like to stay on top. (Mantis, jumping spider, etc) 
Mini Clear View EnclosureMichalina Mazur
February 7, 2022 - Accurate description and works well for what I needed it for. Mini Clear View Enclosure

July 23, 2021 Hugh quality and perfect size for most inverts. Love the fact that it can be turned on its side for more ground dwelling inverts. 
The Mini Bug Box - Custom Acrylic EnclosureChloe Johnson
February 6, 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 She came very fast and is a very active girl – she was jumping around and eating straight away. Super cute and tiny! 
Pebble-mimicking jumping spider (Undescribed Saitis sp1) FemaleShari Marrett
September 12, 2021 Absolutely stunning little guy, very friendly and active. 
Orange-fringed Peacock Spider (Maratus speciosus)Tegan Sutherland

"Try A Free Wolf" KitKellie Newell
May 7, 2022 Arrived alive and well. super active and very curious little spider, always can be found wandering around the top of its enclosure 
Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana)Sub/AdultsNick Rolls
July 22, 2021 Super super cute! Very well packaged as usual and super active as well. Took food in the first couple hours and adjusted very well to the "beach boi enclosure" which was the perfect size. Beautiful colouring and super happy with the temperament and previous care of the spider 
Salt lake wolf spider (Teteralycosa eyrei)
January 20, 2022 Happy and un sure because I have never had a trap door sling so this will be a learning experience for me 
Flinders golden wishbone spider (Proshermacha sp. 9) CB advanced slingsChris Hall
March 20, 2023 I received a juvenile male that shortly after moulted into an adult. He's very a very chill but fast spider! Has the best feeding response out of all my collection 
Fishing spider (Dolomedes instabilis)Zack Mikellides
February 19, 2021 - I ordered 2 of these bubs, both the sizes. The larger one I got, a blue, is the most vibrant centipede I've ever seen. Even over Nuda legs. The awesome photos do NOT do these beautiful critters justice.
Royal Blue/Purple Centipede (Scolopendra laeta gibber form)Maddison Hardie
August 4, 2021 Extremely happy with my purchase. The spider is incredibly active and healthy. Was shipped so fast and safe.
