Very positive experience. I ordered 3 Phyllium letiranti nymphs from their advert of Pets 4 Homes, and Tom was a extremely helpful in outlining the logistics of delivery, and providing information regarding how they would be packed. When the package arrived I was pleasantly surprised to see that not only was there a 4th leaf insect included, but also some eggs! Tom has gone above an beyond to make my experience of buying the insects positive, and I would encourage anyone thinking of getting insects to check out their website.

Hi, I’m Tom — the founder of Xoticbugs and a lifelong invertebrate enthusiast. Invertebrates are some of the most diverse and fascinating animals on the planet, and Xoticbugs was created as a way to share that passion while helping others discover the enjoyment of keeping them.
Xoticbugs primarily offers captive-bred isopods and leaf insects, with occasional availability of stick insects, other invertebrates, and selected dry goods. Stock is released periodically throughout the year and consists mainly of surplus specimens from my own private collection, giving others the opportunity to care for and enjoy these incredible animals. Alongside this, the site features detailed care sheets and articles to support responsible and informed keeping.
All invertebrates sold through Xoticbugs are captive-bred in the UK and are guaranteed to be healthy, well-established, and feeding prior to sale. If a wild-caught specimen is ever offered, this will always be clearly stated in the product listing. Care, transparency, and animal welfare are central to everything I do.
My background is in Biological Sciences, with a particular interest in genetics, and I now focus my collection on rare and personally fascinating species. I welcome genuine feedback and appreciate everyone who supports Xoticbugs.See more
