Club worth subscribing for

I just received my second month of my subscription - I couldn't see what it was after I picked my first. And I was incredibly surprised by how beautiful the butterfly I received was! I was initially worried I would receive something I wouldn't enjoy, but was so pleasantly surprised. Can't wait for my next delivery! You can't tell from the photo, but the texture and color on this specimen is so beautiful.

My addiction!

New collector of Mini beasts incredible frames but completely hooked! I’ve bought several superb frames. I’m a lepidopterist through to the core and I just had to plunge for this incredible frame. It was a considerable purchase but I have to say it’s worth it!

Hats off to everyone who helped me with this. Your understanding of customer requirements, quality and willingness to help is refreshing and I couldn’t be happier with this masterpiece! Photos I’ve taken so not do this masterpiece justice!

Highly recommended and I can’t wait for more!

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.
