    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have a large selection of feeders in the Chicagoland area. I prefer local sales but will ship weather permitting. Shipping is only through fedex or USPS overnight or 2 day from 60445. $1 per hot/cold pack, $2 styro box fee, no fee for packaging or handling fee. Live arrival guaranteed only using the above 2 shipping methods. If you prefer using ground or shipping over 2 days then live arrival isn't guaranteed but if the weather is ok then they'll usually survive 4-7 days w/o problems shipped between 55-70 degrees. Minimum orders for shipping are $40+. All cultures are producing cultures with many bugs in them. Not 20-30, but closer to 100s+.


I give discounts on large orders and will generally get all orders out within the week or 2nd week after invoice is paid. Overnight shipped orders can go out any day except for saturdays or sundays. 2-3 day shipping orders would only be shipped monday-wednesday.

**all isopod cultures are already producing offspring and are quite full of bugs. These are not "starter packs" or a small amount of bugs.
* all springtail cultures are producing cultures and have a lot of bugs in them. There's no set amount in any one container. Keep in mind a period of 1-3 days may be required to see your bugs moving around depending on shipping conditions.

I will consider trades for leaf litter, thumbnail frogs, plants, etc.
