Beautiful Bugs Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I've looked on the net and I can't find banned insect lists by states. Anyone know of any links? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.ojala Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Anything that is not native and eats vegetation/organic material is illegal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynastes Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Anything that is not native and eats vegetation/organic material is illegal. Predators are also regulated under the same auspices as secondary plant pests (they could eat a bug that could eat a bug that could eat a plant).

Beautiful Bugs Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 So maybe a better question would be is there a list that states what bugs are legal to sell nationwide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I doubt there are, each state has it's regulations however I doubt authorities have the time to try to chase you down and charge you with selling native US species. They're more concerned about non-native species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shade of Eclipse Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 The only list I can think of is for butterflies commonly used for educational purposes. You can find out which states they're allowed to be shipped to and which states they are not legally allowed to be shipped into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetle-Experience Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Beautiful Bugs, are you looking to sell or buy ? If selling - it's the purchaser who would need a permit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
