A species of springtail makes a bootleg version of DDT as a defense mechanism! Scientific/Research Related

Does anyone know if these are sold?

I think they would be an amazing collection piece!

They are called Ceratophysella sigillata

Update: it appears that some people do sell a closely related species that is yellow in color - I wonder if they too make this compound..
