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!

October 20, 2022 Thank you for the safe arrival of our beautiful baby Social Huntsmans! They were a gift to my best friend and my daughter's Dad as I already have Huntsmans and Ts. They arrived very well packaged and had lots of space. We will definitely order from you guys again.

Social Huntsman (Delena cancerides) captive-bred juvenilesTahli Fuller
April 17, 2022 A VERY beautiful species and definitely large for a stumpy/square profile Aussie jumper.
While hunting, it moves almost like a robot with slow cautious steps but when in range, a super fast takedowns, awesome!
Plenty of room in the Bug Frenzy Tall Bug box kit.

August 8, 2022 Brilliant!
Perfect size enclosures for most of our little buddy's including some smaller size T's.
Packed VERY well and arrived safe, great quality, easy access with the front/side door, will be purchasing again!
Thanks heaps Bug Frenzy : )
Tall Bug Box - with side door
November 26, 2022 A lot of care was taken in the packaging and shipping of the T and it arrived relatively hassle free, despite a slight delay with AusPost.
Despite the journey it went through the T was remarkably calm and went straight into the hide of its new enclosure after a gentle nudge.
The T had dug further into and webbed up the entrance of its hide. It even had its legs hanging out and took a cricket, all in the same day as unboxing and rehousing.
Suffice to say, very satisfied with a super chill and healthy Juvie T.

October 24, 2021 Great little enclosure purchased for my juvenile jotus sp. A good size with lots of roaming space and room to add enrichment pieces without him getting lost. It was easy to add extra mesh in the top to prevent escape through air holes if you also have an extra small spiders . Very good quality enclosure.

Sadly, most of these were dead on arrival. Probably due to Australia Post delays I expect.
