Goliath Beetle In Box 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.

            Incredible

            Nature just continues to astound me and the Madagascan Sunset Moth is an incredible example of how breathtaking beautiful and magical life is. This is a wonderful specimen with spectacular iridescent wings that remind me of glitter in the sunlight.

              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! :-)

                Stick Insect

                My latest addition to my collection was A stick insect which adds a difference to my collection which is starting to build into a very nice and colourful collection, still pleased with the subscription so far.

                  Lord and lady

                  Well what can I say, another exceptional pair of Specimens from Mini Beast.

                  My collection from them is getting quite large now.

                  These Devils Flower Mantis pair are huge and very worthy of display.

                      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.

                          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.

                            Color Changing!

                            This guy is pretty cool. He is a bit trypophobic when you stare at him closely (he is covered in micro-dots), the color changing on the bottom wing from blue to purple in the sunlight is pretty awesome.

                              ???? The Malachite Butterfly Ventral Side in Box Frame (Victorina stelenes)

                              The Malachite Butterfly is smaller and more subtle, but its earthy green and brown tones are mesmerizing. The ventral side reveals such intricate veining and contrast that I find myself looking at it up close every time. It has a calm, natural beauty that pairs perfectly with the Comet Moth on my wall. Everyone who’s seen it comments on how refined and unique it looks — it adds a touch of quiet elegance to the space.

                                We love getting a new mini beast every month.
                                The collection is growing and I couldn’t be happier with the variety and quality of these specimens adding to my curiosity cabinet. We intend to expand to other parts of the house too! This is a subscription I intend to keep for a long time.

                                  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.

                                                                                          Love this little guy! The wings are transparent in places and beautiful to look at. The pink is so unique too.

                                                                                          There was some debris in the frame. However, the pamphlet that came with my delivery says it’s safe to open the frame to dust it away if any comes loose in transit. It’s reasonable seeing as this butterfly flew all the way from the UK to Australia!

                                                                                            As the website says, these are natural specimens so there are variations in what you may receive.

                                                                                            The photo on the website is quite a vibrant red/orange. In person it’s more of a deep orangey brown. It is still beautiful and I’m happy with it.
