Awesome

Out of all of the butterflies and moths I have purchased, and I have a lot, this is by far the most interesting and colorful. This moth is insanely beautiful and has so many colors and such a fun pattern. The wings have this gorgeous almost iridescent sheen to them, it's almost like it glows a bit when the light shines on it.

Fifth Frame - Blue Clipper

The arrival of this month's frame was a little later because of the Bank Holiday and I simply couldn't wait, I was so impatient! I had really hoped for a butterfly and the Blue Clipper, with exquisite detailing on its wings, is the perfect addition to my collection. Well worth the wait!

Beautiful Female Atlas Moth

This was a birthday gift for my mother, and it was wonderful to be able to give her such a beautiful specimen. The moth arrived in Canada from the UK in great condition, the framing is high quality and tasteful, and of course the moth is stunning. We both were really happy with the ethics behind sourcing the both, too. I'll definitely be looking at MiniBeast again for our next insect friends.

Best day of the month!

I always look forward to this surprise, every month a new butterfly. This month I have a gorgeous Blue Clipper, I must say in pristine condition not a single scratch and the colours are subtle and fresh, it’s so beautiful.
Im very impressed with this company, everyone I’ve corresponded with have been so helpful and really want to satisfy the customer.

I would highly recommend the monthly club it’s a fantastic way of creating and developing an interesting and diverse collection, the not knowing what you’ll get is great.

I’m already looking forward to the next! Thanks guys
