            Zethera pimplea Butterfly In Box Frame From Philippines

              A beautiful little butterfly…

              You’d think this butterfly is a simple creature, yet it has such an understated beauty and charm. Beautiful to look at and making you want to find out more about it, it compliments any existing collection. Again, I can’t speak highly enough of MiniBeast’s preparation of this overall frame. It’s done to such a high level of perfection. I just can’t fault it! Another wonderful specimen that I absolutely adore.

              Forest Mother-Of-Pearl Butterfly In Box Frame (Salamis parhassus)

                A magical shimmer…

                Many years ago, on a trip to Covent Garden, I came across a stall with a few butterflies in frames. I distinctly remember seeing this butterfly for the first time and it stuck in my mind as one of the most beautiful species to exist. So imagine my delight at finding MiniBeast had their own frame featuring this in all its glory and that they had recently come into stock! As I’ve said before, the preparation and presentation of the frame is immaculate and the butterfly itself is given room to shine. And what a pearlescent shine it is!

I had a little space on my wall that I wanted to have a very ‘jungle’ like feel. The Goliath Beetle seemed to be a natural fit and oh my gosh, I love this amazing guy! I’m now kept company at my work desk by this incredible beetle. And once again, I have to sing MiniBeast’s praises because it’s obvious that they are so passionate about their craft. They’re preserving the beauty of these insects as well as adopting ethical practice and also helping with conservation efforts! An amazing company. Truly.

Imagine my surprise when this beautiful little specimen turned up with absolutely astonishing blue wings with little white flecks, like a miniature snowstorm. I hadn’t realised there was so much variation in this species. Again, this was prepared with such great care, it’s absolutely perfect. I cannot fault it and it’s another curious talking point. It actually made me want to research the butterfly a little more! An inspirational purchase. :)

I feel incredibly privileged to own one of these specimens. Their see-through wings are absolutely incredible! Again, I never go to anyone else for butterfly/moth frames as I always know that MiniBeast have such a high standard of quality. I’m always over the Moon with their preparations and this was no exception!

I ended up adding this to quite a growing collection of MiniBeast specimens. My ‘Victorian study’ wall display is coming along thanks to their incredible preparations! Love them!

I was absolutely astonished when I unwrapped this beauty. Incredibly gorgeous markings that resemble ink splats, which is what first attracted me to it. I can only imagine what it must feel like to see these flitting around in the wild. Another gorgeous preparation by MiniBeast done to their usual excellent standards. Simply beautiful.
