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!

Due to the juvie molting, I had it replaced with an adult and she's the cutest angry lady! I didn't even plan to have this species before but now it's my very favourite jumper and a must have!

Sadly, most of these were dead on arrival. Probably due to Australia Post delays I expect. 
Feeder CricketsKevin Matthews
June 24, 2022 - Absolutely A++ customer service don’t hesitate to buy from these guys. If you have any issues they fix it asap and go above and beyond. Wouldn’t go anywhere else now 🙌🙌
Pantropical Tuxedo Jumper (Menemerus bivittatus)Rachael Latham

Red-Flanked Predatory Beetle (Secatophis australis)Nelson
November 9, 2021 Excited for a species I’ve never kept before. All specimens arrived WELL packed. 
Mottled Desert Huntsman (Isopedella cerussata)Lisa Donovan
July 2, 2022 Absolutely love this enclosure.
It’s the perfect size for a small jumper. The screw top lid makes maintenance/feeding/interaction with my spider easy and much less distressing for her and myself (a beginner keeper with arachnophobia).
Conveniently portable and makes spotting your smaller/juvenile jumpers much easier too.
Very fast delivery. Looking forward to ordering more x
