Customer reviews & photos

M. anaxibia

A lovely big, deep blue Morpho: a cracking specimen. Thanks for the great service as always,

M. didius

A sort of ‘classic’ beautiful, big Morpho: remarkable deep colours and the specimen is over 5” across.

M. sulkoskyi

Really remarkable: what a stunning Morpho. Amazing iridescence: it changes from cyan to pure white depending on the angle of light.

M. epistrophus

A beautiful, large, almost pure white Morpho: remarkable. Great service as always.

M. helenor violaceus

Really lovely, and wonderful service from minibeast as usual: they framed 1/3 of this order in different frames so as to suit my walls better.

Exposure therapy

As someone with arachnophobia who also has a love and passion for all insects, this specimen has helped me overcome my fears!

I can admire arachnids but could never fully appreciate them as the sight would be too much for me. Having this specimen on my wall and in my sight daily has helped desensitise myself and I can now fully appreciate all it's beauty.

It's a perfect specimen of an impressive size!

Big and beautiful!

A beautiful and distinctive specimen that acts as the centerpiece of my collection wall!
Despite having 'giant' into the name, this species was much bigger than expected in person, with all it's appendages and limbs on display it perfectly shows off every detail in the carapace, claws, tail and legs.

Iridescent beauties

Truly amazing specimens!
The iridescence of the wings on all three species are so eye catching the second you see them, it's breathtaking the spectrum of colours present on the wings.
While being the smallest of the trio, the Madagascan Sunset moth is a standout and when shifted in the light has flashes of bright pink, purple and blue flashes on the orange hindwings that I've never seen in pictures.
Quickly became one of my favourite frames and spends more time off the wall being admired up close than on display!

Perfect specimens!

The three species are beautifuly displayed in a large frame and perfectly compliment each other. The differing wing patterns and vibrant colours are amazing up close. A must have frame for any fan of hawk moths!
Looking forward to mounting these three in my growing collection.

5 Stars. 10/10.

I have to admit I first gained a love of Peacock Butterflies when I was a kid playing Animal Crossing. This specimen could NOT be more perfect. Super vibrant colours, and really well done mounting! Shipping was shockingly fast, and the frames were really well padded to make sure nothing broke.

Beautiful Moth but...

I love this species, it's absolutely gorgeous! Shipping was way faster than I had anticipated, and the package was cushioned to the MAX to make sure nothing was broken on the way. My one problem with this order is that, as seen in the picture, the thorax of this moth is collapsed which is really sad. I would've hoped that, considering how expensive this was, I'd have a higher quality specimen.

Beautiful Specimens

This frame was my first every purchase from minibeast and the start of my collection, the two moths are perfectly displayed to show off thier beautiful markings and massive wingspan.
The natural mimicry and sexual dimorphism of the species is stunning to view up close and so many details in person that a picture doesn't properly convey.

Vividly colourful

This specimen is so colourful and beautiful, it is definitely a great addition to the collection.

Great!

This specimen is so pretty, an awesome addition to my collection.

Beautiful

The colours and stripes on this specimen are gorgeous!

Awesome!

This is one of the coolest beetles I’ve ever seen.

1st of many

Bought for our 5 year old dinosaur mad son for his birthday, he loved it & can't wait to add more to his collection

Bug-tastic

I’m usually more of a butterfly and moth person, but this bug is sparkly and iridescent! I have a great love of all the wildlife from Madagascar, so this little guy had to be part of my collection.

Wonderful

One of my favourite moths, the colours are so much more vibrant than in the photos. Looks so beautiful on my wall!

Amazing Moth!

Such a large stunning moth, bought as a present for my best friend’s birthday. She has this displayed prominently in her living room. Great quality!

First order

Absolutely stunning, I love it so much

Claudina Agrias

I am in love with the patterns, every time you look, there's more to enjoy and it sets off the otger frames around it due to its vivid colours. A must for any collection.

26th Frame - Adamantius Glow

I love the whimsical name and it is a very good sized specimen. Now all caught up and hopefully I won't delay detailing next month's surprise. I can't wait...

25th Frame - Female Longhorn Beetle

The horns are excellent and it is very well presented. A lovely and slightly different addition.

24th Frame - The Common Rose

This really is the most elegant butterfly. Nothing common about it!

23rd Frame - Monotypic Grasshopper

As always, when there's a problem the customer service team leaps into action. First specimen arrived with a damaged leg, a new one was immediately dispatched. Hop hop horray!

22nd Frame - Shaded Blue Leafwing

Apologies for the multi-review dump, life has got ahead of me a bit but I'm catching up and the last few specimens have brought joy each month. This butterfly has lovely teal flashes.

The Greatest of all Time!

A true bucket list minibeast addition to my collection, this Hercules Beetle is gigantic, dwarfing almost every other beetle including Goliaths and Long Horns. Excellent specimen with vibrant colouring in the sunlight. Truly a magnificent acquisition and an absolute must for an serious collector! Thank you team!

Monster Sawyer!

Very large and well presented Imperious Sawyer beetle. A challenging beetle to obtain but well worth the wait, when place next to other large insects you can truly appreciate the size and scale of this Amazonian monster.

Got this as a gift for my boyfriend who loves these little guys and it came just in time for his birthday, beautiful little guy and the frame details are very pretty

Old World Swallowtail

Beautiful example, well preserved. I love the pattern. Looks even better in person one of my favourites

Giant forest scorpion in resin

The scorpion arrived on time and packed professionally and completely undamaged, its great value for money and a fascinating specimen to display

Adorable!

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!

Slight colour variation from pictures

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.

Beautiful bright colour

Lovely specimen that stands out amongst my collection. Very happy!

Love it!

I love the size of this specimen and the beautiful patterns.

I ordered a few specimens at one time and they all arrived safely and promptly from the UK to Australia.
