Godyris duillia
Clear Winged Butterfly in Glass Dome

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

Goliath Beetle Frame (Goliathus goliatus)

Stunning.

I asked for this beetle with the wings out and I’m delighted with the result.
Very impressive addition to my collection.
And also filled an awkward gap on my stairs nicely.

Male & Female Goliath Beetle in Box Frame (Goliathus goliatus albatus)

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.

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.

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! :-)

Monthly Moths (and Butterflies)

This has been such a great investment. My work takes me away from home for long periods of time and this has been the perfect way to have something nice to surprise my girlfriend with while I am away. Our apartment is quickly being filled with some great specimens and I'm always excited to see what shows up next.

6th month - Monotypic Grasshopper

This was my 6th sub and is an incredible addition. The contrast in the colours is so crazy looking and was such a surprise as I've never heard of them before.

The collection is really growing now along with the few I've bought separately, its gonna look incredible once the wall is filled with frames.

4th month - Butterfly Cicada

This was my 4th sub specimen and it definitely isn't the flashiest but the colours on it are awesome. Can understand where they get their name from as at a distance it does look like a butterfly.

The Yellow Spot Carpenter Bee Frame (Xylocopa confusa)

Welcome surprise

I got this for free as part of an offer and I'd be lying if I said that it was something I would actually buy normally. That being said I've come to really enjoy looking at this one even though its not as visually crazy as most of my other frames.

As I've come to expect from Minibeast the quality is near perfect.

Pictures can not do this one justice!

Ive been waiting on one of these to come back in stock and was sooo happy when it came up. This is one of my top 5 favourite insects and I couldn't ask for a specimen of much better quality.

Everyone who's never seen one before always asks if its naturally that colour or if it was painted!

2nd month - Leaf Insect

This was my 2nd month of the sub. I was likely going to get a leaf insect of some sort anyway as they're incredible looking so was super happy to see this when I opened the box. As always the quality is top notch.

The first of many!

One of the best choices Ive made in a long time was to start this subscription. You 100% get value for money and also a great surprise each month.

I chose the Death's Head Hawk Moth for my first as it's too much of an iconic insect to miss out on. Couldn't ask for better quality and the frames are really well made.

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!
