Bycatch and Import Sales

Imports & Affiliate Sales

Currently, we are the only company in Canada with the permits and infrastructure to import plant pests (e.g. insects, millipedes). Typically, we are only qualified to import species which have been found in Canada (whether as greenhouse pests or in the natural environment), as well as a couple more slow growing or relaxed species (e.g. pill millipedes). We can also take certain fully carnivorous invertebrates, such as centipedes, spiders, and scorpions.

We're also putting on some stuff from friends of ours in the invertebrate community, which we get a small cut from.

Bycatch

I come across a wide variety of invertebrates on trips outside, and can collect most of those species on demand. More or less ALL of the species on this list are wild caught, unless otherwise stated.
