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!
– Your one stop bug and invertebrates shop –
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!

The perfect enclosure for my spoods – the only problem was that the bark hide included in the jumper kit was infested with some kind of bug, I had to dispose of it incase it was termites because they seemed to be chewing at the bark The Mini Bug Box - Custom Acrylic EnclosureShari Marrett
