Best money I spend every month

I guess buying minibeast's isn't the traditional version of pocket money, but my autistic, anxious and shy almost 18 year old is a budding entomologist and has been obsessed with bugs ever since he was little. Instead of pocket money, we've had our monthly subscription for well over a year and he's still so excited every single month to see what's arrived! Still waiting for a big spider to come along one day though. Thank you for this month's surprisingly big box that got everyone excited to see what was inside!

Female Monarch Butterfly Ventral Side In Box Frame (Danaus plexippus)

Majestic Monarch

A must for me! I grew up seeing monarchs outside and had to have one! It's beautiful but note this is the underside so the colors are more dull compared to the top of the wings.
