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!

January 17, 2022 Received my sling today (12/01/21) and couldn’t be happier! The sling looks great and healthy. I was so impressed with the packaging, so professional and nothing left to chance. Really happy with the kit and so glad I added it to the order. I literally had it the next day from posting and will most certainly be purchasing from this site again... Thank you!

January 13, 2021 Super cute! Speedy delivery! Love my new spider Bat Peacock jumping spider (Maratus vespertillio) FemaleJennifer Harwood
September 23, 2021 Arrived well packaged, and the bug frenzy team have been really helpful. The little dude is alive and well, he just moulted and is starting to grow the missing leg back as well! Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana) Missing two legsJosie Golledge
September 23, 2021 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 🙂
