What a beauty this lil guy is, he is my absolute favourite. Something so mysterious and different about him he really is a curious little thing - almost other worldly

These weevils are incredibly beautiful each one has its own slight difference in pattern and all are strikingly shiny, a real fascinating collection to look at and compare with each other

Papilio ulysses telegonus Blue Emperor Butterfly Frame
Brightest blue!
This butterfly has the brightest colors I have ever seen. The blue on the wings is so vivid that it stands out easily in any space.

Goliathus goliatus albatus Male & Female Goliath Beetle
Very nice pair of Goliath beetles
Extremely pleased with this set. As usual can’t fault the customer service. The beetle arrived promptly and has filled the last gap on my gallery wall. Very striking Goliath beetles which I would recommend.

Buprestidae Jewel Beetle Trio Beetle Frame
Each One Shines On It's Own
I love these little guys! The 3 of them in one frame is great because it fits perfectly in a spot where I needed a long slim frame. Each one of the beetles can easily stand on it's own and shine. The option to have all 3 in one frame with a lower price point rather than 3 separate framed specimens thus more bang for the buck was great for me too. I'm pretty obsessed with my collection at this point.

Chrysiridia rhipheus Madagascan Sunset Moth Frame
Incredible
Nature just continues to astound me and the Madagascan Sunset Moth is an incredible example of how breathtaking beautiful and magical life is. This is a wonderful specimen with spectacular iridescent wings that remind me of glitter in the sunlight.

Acherontia atropos Death's Head Moth Frame
The must-have moth for every collection!
I had one of these when I was a kid - such a fascinating moth, I think it would be a great addition to any collection even without the famous skull pattern on it’s back, but it’s that and the link to Thomas Harris’s book that makes it such a must-have species I think. As with my other specimens from minibeast, it’s immaculately presented in a well constructed frame that hangs easily on my wall. Stunning.

Troides hypolitus Female Rippons Birdwing Frame
Gorgeous!
The only birdwing I have that's presented on the ventral side, and it's the right way round I think - this species actually looks pretty similar on the dorsal and ventral sides but the yellow markings on the ventral side are more interesting and more clearly defined. This is another really huge specimen and as always immaculately presented by the team at Minibeast

Morpho menelaus Menelaus Blue Morpho Butterfly Frame
Beautiful
I can get over how beautiful this is! It is for a Christmas present but I want to keep it!
The iridescent pink/purple on this butterfly is so understated in the photos. It’s really quite hard to capture how gorgeous it is with a camera. The butterfly is such good quality and shines in the light. The frame is amazing quality. I understand why this butterfly is named so!

YouTuber builds his studio
I am a YouTuber and previously used a blue paper wall for filming. My living room didn't look so pretty because of it. I wanted to change that and came across Minibeast.
I took out a subscription and ordered 13 more objects. In the photos you can see how I transformed my new studio. More frames have already been ordered! :-)

Godyris duillia Clear Winged Butterfly in Glass Dome
I can see Clearwing now the rain has gone
This Clearwing specimen is perfectly preserved and pinned. The glass dome really elevates what some people might see as a comparatively plain butterfly into an eye catching piece. I would recommend the brown wooden base option.

I am so happy with this purchase. This is my new favorite in my collection. The butterfly is larger than I expected and the colors are so vibrant and beautiful it looks like a creature from a different planet! It never ceases to amaze me the quality of work you guys do for a very reasonable price (please don't raise your prices I need to continue feeding my obsession).

Creobroter gemmatus indian Flower Mantis in Glass Dome
Unique specimen
The mantis is a unique addition to any collection. The combination of green, yellow, and pink makes it an attention-grabber, and I like that I can get a closer look at the details through the bell jar.

I caught red admirals as a kid and dreamed of ever seeing a Peacock. I finally saw one in a Polish meadow over decade ago.
I thought this a lovely butterfly and then I was blown away by the pink iridescence.

Attacus atlas Male Atlas Moth Frame
Atticus Atlas
Over 40 years ago I bought my first mount, an Atticus Atlas as it was supposed to be the largest moth.. Sadly it bleached in the sun and is quite pale now. This replacement is in a clear glass frame and will remain in a windowless room, so this one won't bleach.

Actias dubernardi Male Chinese Moon Moth Frame
Male Chinese Moon Moth
Another Reviewer suggested a pair of these makes a nice contrast with blue butterflies. I'm getting a pair and will put them atop my Morpho wall.
Tails keep showing up on butterflies and moths and I wonder what evolutionary advantage they convey. I think these are some of the longest tails and maybe a predator just ends up with a mouth full of tail.

As a kid I raised Sphinx Moths and was amazed that they pupated underground. I always wanted a Death's Head and now I have one! Thanks!
