King Assassin Bugs Available! 👑🪲
We have groups of 5 King Assassin Bugs (Psytala horrida) available in store right now!
As the largest species of assassin bug in the world, these impressive insects make fascinating display captives. They thrive in a tropical arboreal setup with cork bark to climb on, moderate humidity, and a steady supply of live food like crickets or roaches. Keep them at warm room temperatures and they will do fantastically.
⚠️A word of caution! These guys pack a seriously painful venomous bite! In fact, they were featured on the TV show King of Pain (Season 2, Ep 6), where the bite was rated a maximum 10 out of 10 for intensity. The good news is they are not aggressive, and a bite is extremely rare unless they are seriously provoked.
