I bought the first issue, only because it was on scorpions. Its ok, nothing special and rather brief. I don't think i will be paying full price though for other issues, maybe just a few that interest me.

This is going back ages but does anyone remember the magazines they brought out on bugs and insects before, think it was called bugs and each issue you got peices of glow in the dark plastic to make a tarantula model and the next one was scorpion. The magazine was packed full of information and really packed it well and I learned a lot from the magazines, It must be going back 14 years ago those magazines were out. Haven't gotten the new ones got feeling it will be too commerical and load of advertisments and garbage taking up half the pages like some of the reptile magazines. Its good that it gets the young ones interested though

yeah, i rmember that one, i know some people are anti this magazine becuase the bugs are farmed, but i personally dont see that much of an issue with it(maybe im wrong), but the actual invert infront of you does help absorb the details

Plus i suspect that all these bugs are already incased in plastic already, so whats the point of not getting it, now if it was reptile skins of the world, i wouldn't go anywhere near it, i suppose we all have personal standards on whats right and wrong
