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!

Cute little guy came alive and definitely going to be buying again 
Black rock scorpion (Urodacus manicatus)Captive Bred babiesHaydyn Wilson
April 12, 2022 The cutest little spider ever, he arrived alert and active. 
Lettered Peacock Spider (Maratus literatus)Vanja J.
August 8, 2022 Bug frenzy were awesome with this order - they discussed with me the scorpions requirements and pros/cons against other scorpion species as well as being knowledgeable about habitats and how to best care for my new friend.
The little guy arrived quickly, well packaged so that he wouldn't be harmed in transit. His health and size are amazing.
Flinders ranges scorpion (Urodacus elongatus) Adult M or F/BabiesPeta Spatari

The Mini Bug Box - Custom Acrylic Enclosure
October 15, 2022 My spider came healthy and quite active. Packaging was very well done, protected etc. Only thing I would fix up is that some of the descriptions don’t tell you if the spider is juvenile or not. I was expecting my spider to arrive as an adult although I had no issue with receiving a juvenile. Other than that my spider is gorgeous, arrived safely 🙏🏽🤙🏽.
