Captive-bred jumping spider and velvet spider available at Bugs and Beyond UK

Something Eight-Legged This Way Comes: Meet Our New Jumping & Velvet Spiders!

Eight Tiny Eyes, One Big Announcement: Spiders are Coming to the Bugs and Beyond Website!

At Bugs and Beyond, we've always been dedicated to bringing you the coolest invertebrates on the planet, taking our crew on the road to the awesome Invert Shows UK locations around the country. But lately, we felt like something was missing from our website—something fuzzy, charismatic, and a little bit "extra."

We are thrilled to announce that we are now listing Jumping Spiders and Velvet Spiders for sale on our website!

Why These Spiders?

If you've seen us at an Invert Show, odds are you've already met Lucas the Regal Jumper 😍 They really are amazing little creatures who can melt your heart.

Whether you're a lifelong arachnid enthusiast or someone who used to be a little nervous around eight-legged friends, these two groups are impossible not to love:

Jumping Spiders

Known as the "puppies of the spider world," these little guys are famous for their massive eyes, inquisitive personalities, and stunning colours. We call them the gateway spider; once you've been suckered in, you start to see the spidey-beauty all around 🧡🩷🩵

Velvet Spiders

True to their name, these spiders have a matte, velvety appearance and a chunky, "teddy bear" build that makes them a beautiful, gothic pet. If you're like us, you'll be fascinated watching your new friend eat 🪰 they remind us of a certain black & white stripey character, dragging their meal to its doom 🍴 IYKYK

The Captive Bred Difference

Ethics and health are our top priorities. That is why every single regal & velvet we list will be 100% captive-bred.

By choosing captive-bred spiders from Bugs and Beyond, you're ensuring that your new pet is healthy, well-adjusted to enclosure life, and—most importantly—that no wild populations were harmed to bring them to your home.
