                Highly recommended

                Very impressed with this one which I got using my loyalty points.
                Can’t fault mini beast, it’s a fantastic specimen and expertly presented.
                Hard to photograph though with the dome on due to the light reflecting.

Inside the frame it’s a little dusty, so I’ll have to open it up to clean but no other complaints. Reply from Minibeast:- Dust will come off the wood and specimen during transit. We include instructions on the leaflet in the box on how to open the back and clean the glass and remove any particles that may be in the frame.

Pictures do not do these butterflies justice- they are absolutely stunning and I have no idea how this pair doesn’t have dozens of reviews yet.
