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.

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!

Forest Mother-Of-Pearl Butterfly Frame (Salamis parhassus)

One of my favourite butterflies!

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!

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.

Jewel Beetle Trio Beetle Frame (Buprestidae)

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.

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! :-)

Best subscription!

The arrival of a new minibeast is a big event in our house, we gather round the box and wonder what type of insect we will have today, every time we discover the new addition to our collection it’s met with ‘WOW!’ As we all take a look at the new addition.
We love these, the colour of the insects, it’s creative, high quality specimens and frames and educational.
Best subscription I’ve ever paid for, we’re at the start of our collection, can’t wait to get more and more!

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
