i think importing insects and animals is illegal? I thought only zoos could do it

I think you're right, especially with all the conservation rules regarding our wildlife

Same here in Australia , even across some state / territory borders , but NZ is only across the Tasman and there are trade agreements between Australia and NZ.

Never know , it may be OK , I'd be sending an email to the MPI to ask , or perhaps asking your local member to make representations on your behalf if it the answer is "not allowed".

Pretty common for insects to go both ways accidentially in freight or pallets or containers.

I'll have a look into it, if it's allowed and I can afford it I'll definitely give it a shot, would be good for diet variety.
