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
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.

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.

Graellsia isabellae Spanish Moon Moth In Glass Dome
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

Jamides euchylas Pointed Line-blue Butterfly
Tiny Beauty
This butterfly is so pretty and witty bitty. About the size of a quarter. And it's iridescent! So much nicer than I thought it would be!
I absolutely love this pair of mantises!!! I prefer my insects framed in singles so they framed them individually at my request. Y'all are the BEST!!! They are so brilliantly colored! The pictures don't do them justice.

Pyrops gunji Planthopper
Very fascinating
Having liked planthoppers and their big goofy noses, I knew I had to have one. Only upon receiving it did I recognize how cool their wings are, reminding me of a starry night with a yellow moon. Very pretty and amusing.

I don't know how you do it, but your work, as it so much nears perfection, creates addiction. It was a great choice to acquire it in a dome, as it looks good from every angle!
