I've decided I want to get into larger feeder insects for my critters, as my ant colonies have been absolutely tearing through my feeder supply. I've decided that something along the lines of Brachytrypes membracaneus or some other "edible-size" insect would do, as long as I'm allowed to have them in my area (USA, KY). Does anyone know how I could get them?

I’m pretty sure they live in Africa.


Currently: Considering moving to Australia
Reason: Myrmecia

You aren't going to get those in the US easily.  

 

I'd suggest you just go outside at night in a field and try to catch the native crickets.  The wild ones are already decently large.
