                Beautiful bookends

                I bought these as a gift and both the recipient and I love them! There are so many interesting details to look at. This was my first purchase from minibeast.co and the customer service was so good, fast and friendly! They made me a very happy customer and I've now bought myself a framed moth and beetle :)

                  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!

                                                              Super cool

                                                              This is my second order from Mini Beast and I’m super happy with them! The colours are not as bright as the photo but they look so pretty.
                                                              Can’t wait to hang them on the wall

                                                                This is the most iconic butterfly I own. The butterfly that started me down my journey of collecting. And how could it not be? Just look at it. Looks better in person. Big sized butterfly with a vivid wing design. A must have. Oh yeah, and the eyes are great.

The great wing span design with an elegant pattern puts this one high on my list of moths. It is well priced for the product offered. Happy to add it to my collection. A little smaller than I thought it would be.

It is a small butterfly but has a very unique design on its wings. Due to its unique design, it stands out in my collection. The pink on the inside of the wings has a very vivid colour to it.

Here's a red and yellow male and below them is a couple of Ulysses male varieties. They were a wonderful surprise to find at Minibeast.

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)

                                                                                                                          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.
