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!

Sadly, most of these were dead on arrival. Probably due to Australia Post delays I expect.

"Try A Free Wolf" KitBodhi Hayman
May 19, 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
March 26, 2022 - A bit small but it is great size for a little spider/baby spider. Bought it with my baby wolf spider and he is loving it. I would however recommend buying extra substrate (~500g) from these guys to have a good amount of substrate and to have extra just in case. Otherwise it is so cute and I love it. Very easy to observe the spider with it and I like the latch 🙂

Orange-fringed Peacock Spider (Maratus speciosus)magda c.
October 24, 2022 The enclosure is such high quality and the price is really good as I've seen some of competing quality for a much higher price. I also love that you can add on a starter kit for the enclosure so as a new keeper, such as myself, you have everything you need to set you up for success.
