I am the original 'Bug Lady', breeding and supplying many types of creepy crawlies for almost 30 years but in the last couple of years I have found myself becoming more and more the ‘Spider Lady’. Trends seem to be changing and arachnids are far more popular than they have ever been before. I have a large log cabin in my garden where I keep a multitude of creatures. Since moving out of London my work is mainly postal . I am not keen on change and it took me a long time to actually reach the 21st century and see the potential of customers ordering online. I am now fully convinced, business has increased tremendously since setting up my online store in 2009. I am still easily accessible by email and telephone and I strive 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. 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.
