Day Dubia 518

What's in the box: A shipment of live feeder insects such as dubia roaches, hornworms, mealworms, superworms, black soldier fly larvae, wax worms, or silkworms, packed for live arrival.

Day Dubia 518 is a Northeast-based supplier of live feeder insects for reptiles, amphibians, and backyard poultry. You can buy once or set up a recurring subscription. The range covers the staples most keepers rotate through: dubia roaches, hornworms, mealworms, superworms, black soldier fly larvae, wax worms, and newly added silkworms. The weekly subscription is $26 per week and is aimed at high-volume reptile owners and breeders. Silkworms are also sold on their own at $20 for 12 or more. The main reason to subscribe is simple: running out of feeders is a real hassle, and a standing weekly order solves it. The company says its insects are raised in controlled conditions on clean diets and packed so they arrive active. Some of the marketing goes further than it backs up. For example, it calls the insects 100% organic without naming any certification. The site also does not say what quantities or mix of species the weekly plan includes. It is a small operation, so check its live-arrival and cold-weather policies before you commit. For keepers who want a steady, varied supply from a regional source, it is worth trying with a single order first.
