You can buy a lot of insects that people use for pest control (ladybugs, mantis egg cases) or animal food (crickets, various larva), or pets (ants, centipedes).

1500 live Ladybugs for about $10.
You can buy live animals on amazon US?
The US Postal Service will ship and handle packages with live chicks inside.

Oooh yes that makes more sense. It’s early 😴. I’m just imaging all these turfs trying to get ladybugs out of their hair.
