    Help my halloween party is in 4 days and I cant find any plastic insects anywhere. I would love some lil spiders and roaches. I found some last year at a dollar store but this year nothing. Im in TEXAS so if anyone know who might sell them please share.

    I've purchased insect toys from Michaels in the past. Bought spiders and such from Party City last year. Dollar Tree had snakes I bought. Also try CostPlus World Market if you have one in your area. And any other party store in your vicinity. We have Diddams in our area but I don't think they are in Texas. Also maybe a hobby store... Heck maybe Toys R Us, Target (toy area and party good area) would be possibilites.

    I checked Target, Walmart, Walgreens and Party City. I may try another Party City, and Spirit today or tomorrow.

    I bought a very small bag of spider at Spirit for $5! They were way way way overpriced for only 40 mini spiders. They were in different colors and I did see a lot of other bags of different insects so I know they have them, I just think you can find the cheaper other places. I did see two big squishy spiders I loved at Target. They have the jell inside so they squish real nice.

    I have always gotten great ones at Discount Card and Party if you have on near you. They come in a little clear plastic box for around $4.00 for a dozen or more.

    Try Toys R Us. Also check to see if you have a Discovery Channel Store, or a Natural Wonders. They usually have some rubber insects, but I don't think either one has them cheap.

    Check a few different Dollar Trees if you have time. I've noticed that different locations have a huge difference in the stuff they carry.

    I absolutely know that Party City carried lots of bugs LAST year, but I can't remember if I saw any this year.

    If you have a store near you called "US TOY/Constructive Playthings" (I'm in Houston, TX and there is one near me...) they will have TONS of bugs... large ones, squishy ones, hyper realistic ones, goofy ones... I freaking love that place!

    US TOY Carnival/Novelty Division website to see if they are anywhere near you.
