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!

July 17, 2022 Unfortunately my little peacock spider didn't survive the trip,....although he was well packed & had everything needed for the trip.
Bug Frenzy were great to deal with under the circumstances. 10/10 for customer service & definitely highly recommended.
I will be purchasing through them again!!
Green-Tailed Peacock Spider (Maratus pavonis, Perth WA form) MaleCrystal Austin
October 30, 2022 This is my first time to have these spiny leaf insects, I ordered male and female. They arrived in 3 days using express post, kind of worried but they survived. I thought they are all females because the orange one looks like female, sent email to bugfrenzy and got the answer. No it's male actually. Communication was good! Will buy from bugfrenzy again.
It's been 6 days, the insects are happy and healthy in their new home.

Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana)Sub/AdultsHayley Saffy
August 20, 2021 - Love this little guy/gal already. Package was delayed by 4ish days, at no fault to BugFrenzy, but due to the expert packaging, my spider is still alive and happy. Only wish is that they included a printout with care instructions and maybe even some facts/info on the type of spider/insect it is. Maybe that could be something included in future orders. I think it would be cool to receive that especially for first time owners. But all in all can't wait for this guy/gal to grow.
