I have been looking for an online stores that sells insects, i have found a few, but they dont sell Platymeris biguttatas (white spot assassin bugs).

Can someone post a link to an online insect stores that sell them???

If it takes me longer than a week to reply, then the message must have gotten stuck in the web. So if you dont hear back from me, always message or email me again! :}

I recall reading a post not to long ago that mentioned that the white spot assassin bug was illegal to own in the US by private owners who were not certified.

Here's the link, and it might be the reason why you are having such a problem finding a place that sells them, that is assuming you live in the US

A buddy of mine was called, and visited by two USD@ agents. They asked her about some stick insects she used to have. They also asked her what insects she was currently keeping. She told them exactly what insects she was keeping (and that included her different species of assassin bugs). They told her that all the insects she had were ok to keep, mind you, she lived in Florida at the time! Only thing they told her she couldnt have were stick insects and african land snails. This took place about a year ago.

So who really knows?
