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!

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!

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

Flinders ranges scorpion (Urodacus elongatus) Adult M or F/BabiesAnonymous
February 12, 2022 I didn't expect this jumper to be smaller than the small peacock species, can't actually see his eyes they are so small!
Choosing food is difficult as the fruit flys are as big as him and he is scared of any crickets.
But he is calm and friendly, rather easy to handle.
Thanks Bug Frenzy 🙂
Pretty rockhopper (Undescribed Euophyrinae, more than likely Saitis sp.) MaleSaul Aldridge
October 23, 2022 This little one is absolutely adorable. So active and fun but can’t go past that face. Pretty rockhopper (Undescribed Euophyrinae, more than likely Saitis sp.) MaleTegan Sutherland
September 12, 2022 Perfect enclosure! I thought it was going to be too small or a temporary home as the size is fairly small but it’s actually the perfect size! I have enough room to deck it out for her & it’s honestly all the room she needs! She’s made a silk home inside & seems to really like her little set up. I will be buying a bulk load of these size enclosures for all my others! Mini Clear View EnclosureCassie Gee
February 8, 2022 I’m in love with this little critter. He is so very inquisitive and friendly. Healthy little guy too. Can’t wait to buy more! Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana)Sub/AdultsShannon Giles
