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!

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

Happy customer and no doubt will be making many future purchases!

July 10, 2022 This is the only Jumper I've had that is happier on my hand than in its enclosure and very funny, it randomly jumps strait up in the air and then calmly looks around like "what happened" SO FUNNY 🙂
BUT at the same time she easily takes down crickets bigger than she is, WOW!
You want a happy to be handled and very entertaining jumping spider this is a GREAT option.
Thanks Bug Frenzy!
