Invertebrates

95% of the world's animal species are invertebrates, and insect collecting for display purposes has historically been an important scientific pursuit. The keeping of live insects though is a relatively new hobby, and is often sparked by school projects with butterflies, silk worms and ant farms.

For the hobbyist, the variety of collectible live invertebrates is practically limitless. From spiders and scorpions to mollusks and insects - there's an invert for every interest and budget.

(Because some species post risks if released into the wild, be sure to first check with your local laws and regulations on the keeping of insects and exotic pets.)
