I am the original 'Bug Lady', breeding and supplying many types of creepy crawlies for more than 25 years! I have a large log cabin in my garden where I keep a multitude of creatures. My work is mainly postal but I do have occasional open afternoons and allow callers by appointment. Things have changed a lot over the years, I am always aware of new trends and the need to adapt with the times. I hope my old and new customers will appreciate this new web site which went live in September 2009. I have finally been dragged into the 21^st century, technology is not my strong point, I am much happier when things are living, breathing and preferably have six or eight legs. I'm sure the new site will prove much easier to use than my previous one. Placing orders on-line makes life easier for everyone but I am still easily accessible by email and telephone. I aim to maintain my position as the most friendly and reliable bug supplier! In years gone by I bred lepidoptera for schools and private individuals, I manufactured a range of net cages and visited primary schools with my mini-beast show. I now concentrate on breeding and supplying live bugs within the UK and Europe. I appeared on television quite frequently in the past (the Big Breakfast and various children's TV shows), these days I am generally behind the scenes, supplying the bugs to be filmed and acting as a media consultant. I find myself involved with arachnids more and more, I often have more than 100 species in stock at any one time. I supply many schools, universities, butterfly farms, zoos and private individuals. Associated equipment is also stocked e.g. heat mats, books, containers, thermometers and hygrometers. I do not import any animals, consequently the vast majority of my creatures are captive bred.

You can arrange to call and collect your order at any time (within reason!). If you would like to come and look around, I am generally available weekday afternoons, please email / telephone well in advance to arrange an appointment. If you are coming by train, I am happy to deliver your order to Bourne End station. If you are arriving at the station and would like to visit, A1 Cabs 01628 851466 are a local taxi company (both High Wycombe and Beaconsfield stations are also only a short cab ride away)

Spring is approaching. I can finally say that it is spring next month! The weather has been considerably warmer these last couple of days, which is good as I have had a lot of new live stock this week. I have two parcels of spiders due today so I will be busy housing and feeding them all and entering them on the website. It’s been another really busy week with lots of orders coming in. I am trying to keep a good range of bugs but some of my ‘little friends’ take far too much effort, I cannot wait until the praying mantids have sold out. I love mantids but I cannot continue to sell them. I don’t like posting them as they moult so frequently, I get attached to them as I spend so much time feeding them and (trying to think of a tactful way to put this) I simply get too many enquiries about them and continual hassle.
