Look and you will find an undiscovered world in your own backyard. I can find an insect or spider or other bugs I've never seen before almost every time I go outdoors. So can you! The world is a very interesting place where as few as 10% of organisms are even named. Behaviors specific to each species and interactions among various organisms within environments form ecosystems more complex than the sum total of all human imagination. Nature is a perfect system where even synthetic materials are eventually reabsorbed.

Announcements
12/11/25: Shipping living things during the holidays is a careful business and we use a 3 day heat pack for every shipment. Please review the following holiday shipping schedule carefully and familiarize yourself with it and our terms of service page which governs the finer points of our transaction. We are black and white on all this and want to make it VERY clear that this is a riskier time for you to order living things online, and that you can prevent this risk by not ordering. We don't want your money. We want happy bug lovers!
Our last shipping day before Christmas for 2 DAY shipments is Tuesday 12/16. That means you need to get your order in by midnight, 12/15, if you want a 2 day order shipped before Christmas. Nooo exceptions, sorry. If you order living bugs with the 2 day service on 12/16 through the end of the year, it will not ship until the week of January 5th, 2026 because of the way the holidays fall midweek for the remainder of December. Now let's discuss overnight shipping...
Our last shipping day before Christmas for OVERNIGHT shipments is Monday, 12/22. This cuts it very close to Christmas and in cold weather there is more risk to cut it this close, but any overnight shipment that Fedex fails to deliver on Tuesday 12/23, still has a good chance to deliver on Wed 12/24 and they have a 98.5% on time record for my overnight shipments. If you are a procrastinator and faint of heart, do not order after 12/16. Fedex and all the carriers are very busy this time of year, with extra holiday volume. Please understand that risk is increased but we extend our service to you and your families because for many people, there is no Christmas without bugs and we feel exactly the same!
