Clear Winged Butterfly in Glass Dome (Godyris duillia)

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.

Amazing value

We've had this for 9 months now and as you can see we've been sent a fantastic selection. Lots of variety of specimens all in fantastic condition and beautifully framed. We now have enough to display and can't wait to get them on the walls!

Female Rippons Birdwing Frame (Troides hypolitus)

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

Double Madagascan Sunset Moth (Chrysiridia rhipheus)

Perfect Centrepiece of Tessellation

I think the ventral and dorsal colours on this moth are stunning and it has made for an impressive centrepiece of a wall tessellation.

As always, presentation is flawless within the frame and the frame itself, and delivery was as quick as anyone could hope for a bespoke item.

I truly recommend this specimen and have not received any so far that have not exceeded my expectations.

Well done Minibeast team!

Death's Head Moth Frame (Acherontia atropos)

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.

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).

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! :-)

Work of art

Such a stunning butterfly, my 3rd in my membership and I’m still happy, does have a tiny bit of wing damage (scratches) which is a shame when the club frames are the best quality??

Doesn’t attract from its beauty and already it’s on the wall! Thank you

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.

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.
