Godyris duillia
Clear Winged Butterfly In Glass Dome

Top Review

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!

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!

Jewel Beetle Trio Beetle In Box 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.

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!

Sadly this 10x10 frame won't ship with a clear glass frame allowing you to see both sides. The male and female make a great pair. Years ago I got a female and the rich brown colours faded in the sun. I'm keeping my new one in a windowless room.

Can’t wait to see next months

I signed up for the mini beast club, I picked the blue swallowtail because let’s be honest it’s such a striking butterfly.

It arrived and pictures don’t do it justice. It’s so elegantly done and really does stop people in their tracks to compliment it.

Actias dubernardi
Female Chinese Moon Moth

Wow!

For my first I decided to get the female Chinese moon moth. I was not disappointed, she is stunning.

The frame is fantastic quality and she’s been so thoughtfully worked on that she still looks as beautiful as she did before.

It’s truly an art form and mini beast has mastered it. If you are on the fence this is your sign to start your collection!
