Charaxes bipunctatus, smaragdalis & ameliae
Charaxes Butterfly Trio
Charaxes Butterfly Trio In Box Frame (Charaxes bipunctatus, smaragdalis & ameliae)

Charaxes trio

Charaxes bipunctatus is very dark to almost brown color unless the sunlight shines directly on it so best to display this trio by a window. The trio still have a very lovely deeper blue color, but it will probably will need a replacement from time to time with the light issue. Still highly recommend this trio, perhaps to be hanged alongside the morpho trio for contrast.

Morpho sulkowskyi
Sulkowsky's Morpho Butterfly
Sulkowsky's Morpho Butterfly In Box Frame (Morpho sulkowskyi)

Eye catching

It's eye catching not just for its shiny white silvery color but also for the red and black colors at the bottom tips of the wings.

Thysania agrippina
Witch Moth
Witch Moth In Box Frame (Thysania agrippina)

clear glass box frame

With intricate details for this beautiful moth, it's best to placed it in a clear glass box frame to view from both sides. Very considerate of minibeast to give a frame hanger for wall hanging display.

Spanish Moon Moth In Glass Dome (Graellsia isabellae)

Recommend Glass Dome

The regular frames from minibeast are high quality (even get more frames choices than any other sellers out there to bring out the beauty of that specific specimen ) but I would recommend the intricate detailed specimens to be placed in glass dome or even clear glass box frame so to observe it from both sides
