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!

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.

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.

Death's Head Hawk Moth In Box 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.

Fourth Frame - Small Red Winged Stick Insect

Absolutely incredible stick insect, love the vestigial wings. And as always, the customer support at Minibeast is second to none. When there was a problem with the original specimen being damaged in the post, Tyler very kindly sourced me a new one, which arrived 48 hours later. So impressed and grateful. Thank you Team Minibeast! (Would give ****** 6 stars if I could)

My First MiniBeast Purchase

This was my first MiniBeast purchase and it was everything I wanted it to be. I ordered the pair of male and female Monarch butterflies as a birthday present for my boyfriend, and I couldn't have asked for a better product. The butterflies arrived safely packaged and in perfect condition.

I will be purchasing another specimen very soon. After receiving the Monarch Butterflies, I have decided to have an entire wall dedicated to different specimens.

Leaf-wing Butterfly In Box Frame (Anaea riphea)

More orange

In pictures at least on my phone this looked more plum pinky purple but in person this is actually a more orange red.

This isn’t a big butterfly but it’s a nice colour and definitely unique. Despite the colour not being what I thought it’s still beautiful and unlike anything else in my collection. As always it’s fantastic quality.

Moon moth

Would recommend to get a few moon moths for comparison, at first glance, there might not be a huge color contrasts among them unless you get them as couples, but one can still differentiate the light green, yellow, pink and different patterns from each of the moon moths.

Female Comet Moth
Female Comet Moth In Box Frame (Argema mittrei)

Huge and oh so pretty

She’s the biggest one in my collection so far, she’s not as bright yellow but more muted which actually makes her even more beautiful.

She almost reminds me of autumn leaves as they start to change colour.

She’s a real centrepiece and it’s pretty cool to think of something this big just fluttering around.

As always she’s done really well and such good quality. She’s a great contrast to all my blue butterflies.

Having caught so many of these in animal crossing I’ve wanted to add it to my collection for a bit now. The colours are so amazing, the shine is hard to get on pictures but it’s mesmerising in person.

It’s hard to believe this amazing creature is just flying around out there. Definitely add it to your collection, you won’t regret it.

Beautiful colours like a paint palette

This butterfly caught my eye almost right away and I finally decided to add it to my collection.

The colours are so vibrant and looks great in low light as well as in daylight.

I think this one might be my favourite so far. But purple is my favourite colour so maybe I’m biased.

A smallish one but a real eye catching beauty.
