I Fox Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Do I need to have any kind of permit to sell or ship native insects from Kansas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratmosphere Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Technically yes but nobody follows it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspenentomology Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Technically yes but nobody follows it. Really? I thought just specific types of inverts needed permits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratmosphere Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 I remember when I first started that you technically needed a permit to move phasmids/beetles across state to state. I could be wrong though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 I think you TECHNICALLY need permits to move ANY insects across state lines, native or not, but I could be wrong. If that's the case though, then it must be a very loosely enforced law. It may also vary from state to state, IDK... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, that might be a problem for the website I'm working on as I'm only fourteen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratmosphere Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Even if it is a law, it's not really enforced. I know people who went to the extent to get their state permits but that's just silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmont Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Peter and other websites dont bother with any state permits, no one even cares about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragozap Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Redmont is right. State stuff isnt anything to worry about, its really international permits that you should watch out for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Especially when shipping native species, it shouldn't be a problem. I mean many of them aren't restricted to just one state, so is it illegal for them to walk or fly across state lines? That'd be really impractical!

Beetle-Experience Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 You do not need a permit if you are the person shipping or selling.. if the insects are species that are native to the state you live in, and they were collected / reared there. The person receiving the insects would need a permit, even if the species in question occurs in both states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetle-Experience Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Exceptions: Goliath beetles, dung beetles, bess beetles, ground beetles.. What are the extent of laws and restrictions of importing beetle species ot and within the US and why? http://beetleforum.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=3039&hl= Import permit, would you do it under this circumstance? http://beetleforum.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=3189&hl= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
