The crown of my collection

Captivating for any collectionner, this Madagascar endemic butterfly doesn't disappoint! As pretty as it is, it's also just as useful, playing a crucial role in pollination.

Looking stunning on any shelf

I loved it before I had it. You simply can't have a collection without it! It's a very high quality specimen, best placed in a room where it can catch all light phases through the day.

Batman! No, wait, it's a cicada

Some eat them, some write about them, and some collect them. My largest glass dome specimen so far, it's a central piece.

A glass in another glass

The most delicate specimen of my collection so far, as a curiosity, this butterfly is able to carry up to 40 times its own weight.

O. priamus urvillianus pair

Really lovely. I requested that minibeast set them ‘the other way up’ so one can see the gorgeous male underside and subtle female dorsal side. Great service as always.

So Beautiful!

One of the best specimens we have so pleased with how this looks in person, really stands out with its impressive size and beautiful colours.

Stunning!

I think the Rhinoceros Beetle is my favourite so far! As always, great service and great packaging. Very happy and can't wait for my next purchase. ????

Pretty addition to my collection

I am in love with this one! Perfect specimen!

What a treasure

Anyone who is unsure of adding this incredible specimen to their collection should go for it. What a beauty, yes Colotis species are much smaller than a lot but the detail and distinctive tips make this shine! Love it

This company is the best!

Yet again I am totally surprised and very pleased with this company, They give such care to detail and listen to the customer, nothing is too much trouble!

I asked like i have several times for a double of this stunning butterfly showing both sides and they were more than happy to help! I can not praise them enough, the end result is incredible what a beautiful frame. I’m very happy with it thank you.

This is such a beautiful moth! It's wings are a mix of pastel blue and green with a hint of pink at the bottom of the wings. It's body is white and fuzzy and I actually find this moth both beautiful and adorable all at the same time.

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 first piece

Very bright, I love how the blue changes in different lighting. Everytime I look at this butterfly I always see different shades.

Stunning specimen

Beautiful detail and very bright. Another amazing piece to add to my ever growing collection of entomology

Beautiful butterfly

As soon as I saw this beauty I knew i had to have it, little did I know it would be even more mesmerising in person. Fantastically packaged and well made. One of my favourite butterflies, great specimines to study for painting.

Lovely

It’s very well packaged and it’s a green butterfly but looks blue in different angles in the light.

Cute

I really love how small and cute these are. They are also very pretty!

Gold plated

I bought this for my partners birthday. The metallic green and gold colours look really striking in the flesh.

Month 2!

I received this beautiful frame for month 2. It has a lovely blue colour after its namesake - Blue Clipper. I can’t wait to see next month!

Incredible!

What an absolute gem of a frame, incredible butterflies, the shimmer of the blue and shading of the subtle browns. Stunning!
If you love Morpho varieties this is a must have.
Again thank you to everyone at mini beasts for a lovely finish and high quality frame.

What a treasure

I can not even photograph the beauty, detail and shade of colour this amazing beauty shows.
Mini beasts have done such a Lovely job with the frame and quality, I can’t recommend them enough thank you yet again

Beautiful Comet Moth for sons birthday

My son was over the moon with his framed male Comet moth. He’s a keen young naturalist and loves entomology. This is one of his favourite moths so I knew this was the perfect gift! We will definitely be buying some more specimens soon!

Pictures really don’t do this justice

Pictures really don’t do this beauty justice! The wings are so vividly and deeply blue, with an amazing color shift depending on the angle.

Gorgeous

This giant swallowtail is a magnificent addition to my collection. The wings are a faint, icy blue!

So unique!

This moth has such a unique pattern! It reminds me of snake skin. So cool!!

So cool!!

This is really such an awesome specimen, and I was shocked by how large the body of this moth is. Definitely a conversation piece! The quality of this specimen is amazing too as always!

Beautiful

I love this little specimen. I love the contrast of the translucent wings to the very vivid almost coral color. So pretty!!

Gorgeous beyond belief!!!

This is by far the absolute most beautiful specimen I have and I have A LOT!! Pictures do not do this any justice. These butterflies are so vibrant and shiny and no matter what angle you view them from they are magical! They are so shiny they almost appear to have a glow to them. I love this set so much I am most likely going to buy a second one as a gift for my best friend. Absolutely stunning and the quality is just amazing. Highly recommend!!

Cheery

I love how bright and cheery this sweet little yellow butterfly is! It adds such a pretty pop of color to my butterfly collage. Beautiful, high quality specimen. Very happy with it!

Monarch

This is such a beautiful specimen. Vibrant color and high quality as always. Very happy with my purchase!

Beautiful

This dragonfly is so beautiful. I really love the markings on its wings. Very cool specimen!

Awesome!

This is by far one of my favorite specimens. It's massive and the colors are so vivid! I love how the wing tips resemble snake heads, so cool!

Giant Witch Moth

Really wonderful! 23cm across (barely fits in a 10” x 8” frame) and in perfect condition. Beautiful wing patterning.

Incredible piece

This looks better than I ever expected. Having a dino tooth at home thats over 100 million years is so cool. I love it!

Radiant Reds

Another masterpiece added to our collection.

Amazing!!!

It was exactly as expected… Will buy definitely more from this shop!!!

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.

Simple yet striking

Beetles are my thing but I wanted some colour pops within my collection of 80% brown and black critters, this lovely understated butterfly has done the trick with its irresistible purple wing tips

Pop of colour

What this butterfly may lack in size it makes up for with such vibrant colours! The beautiful iridescent blue is breathtaking, a definite must have for a colour injection within a collection.

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
