    You can try using the one for frozen bloodworms.
    Just have to buy a box.
    But it does depend on what kind and how many you intend to bring back...

    go to the back loading/unloading area of supermarkets and ask the uncle or auntie...they usually a lot to throw or give away.

    remember that you should buy it slightly bigger and have thicker walls than your needs as you need to check it in, cannot do hand carry.

    Additionally if you're taking a particularly long haul flight, you might want to look into "Kordon Breather Bags" these are gas permeable bags that will let CO2 out and O2 in, a bro is currently selling in marketplace.

    Most US vendors who ship livestock around use these bags with good results, they are supposedly no longer in production though.
