Currently, I have two White Tree Frogs, 3 Giant Asian Mantis, Chinese Moon Moth Larvae and North American Bullseye Moth larvae, Leaf Insects, and Giant Flower Beetle Larvae.

The Insect Nerd was created for ... everyone. Insect and animal lovers. Families, children, and anyone wanting to take up the wonderful hobby which is Entomology. In time, I will be selling insect eggs and maybe some insects. It's a small, new business, but it will thrive. It's a family-run website, run by me for others.
Aims:
​
1. To promote good animal care and welfare.
2. To educate others on the importance of insects
3. To make others aware of insects needs, and how they need to be cared for just like other animals.
4. To encourage others to join in with the hobby Entomology.
5. To chat about the animal or insect related news occurring around the world.
6. To chat about our insects and animals.
7. To provide consistent information about how to care for certain insects or animals.
