    Such a good idea.

    Deaths Head Moth is a great start to the collection - really looking forward to seeing what arrives next month! Good amount of customisation to ensure you only get the samples you want and I like the exclusivity element!

      Perfect

      Mine ended up being a little smaller than in other reviews but is absolutely beautiful and I like that it doesn’t stick out over the mount. This was my first frame ever and I couldn’t be happier. The photo isn’t the best but it shows how pretty the colours are.

      Green Flower Beetle In Box Frame (Ranzania bertolonii)

        Wow wow wow

        The shine and colours are fantastic - the green is bright and pearlescent and contrasts amazingly with the stark white.

        What a stunning specimin and fantastically framed as always.

                              Definitely the most unusual looking insect in my collection - one that I wouldn't have thought to collect but really adds some variety to the set. It's beautifully preserved and presented as always.

                                Better on the ventral side

                                Minibeast only list this species on the dorsal side but when I asked they were kind enough to flip it over and present the ventral side for me which I personally think is much more impressive. I saw this species as a child on a holiday to one of the Canary Islands, and it was part of the story of my lifelong interest in butterflies. I love it ;)

                                  Best camouflage of any butterfly :)

                                  I generally don't go for frames with both ventral and dorsal specimens as they take up a lot of wall space but this one is a special case. You have to have the "leaf" side obviously, but the dorsal side colours are so cool that it seemed essential to have both. Gorgeous :)

                                    Huge

                                    The only specimen in my collection with a deep wooden frame which looks ever so slightly awkward amongst all the others, but it's worth the inconsistent sizing to have such an enormous and striking beetle in my collection. Superbly presented - the abdomen is a little squashed but I think that must be a preservation technique. A real gem.

                                    Dazzling Glasswing Butterfly In Box Frame (Godyris duillia)

                                      A less common glasswing

                                      It's worth noting that the species of clearwing you always see in UK butterfly houses is Greta oto - this species is Godyris duillia, a different and larger species with somewhat less colourful patterns on the non-clear wing parts. I didn't pay attention to what I was ordering and expected a Greta oto (I didn't realise there were multiple species in the clearwing family).

                                      It's a lovely specimen, just not the one I expected :)

                                        A must have

                                        Another species which you really have to have in your collection. One of the largest butterflies, a brilliant vibrant blue all over and one that everybody who has ever been to a butterfly house will recognise. I've had the good fortune to see these in the wild in Costa Rica before too :)

                                        Minibeast remove the abdomen on blue morphos because they contain oils that will leak out over time. I didn't realise that at first and it looks a little weird because of it, but I'd much rather that than a specimen that will degrade as it ages.

                                        It's also worth noting there are two similar species for sale on Minibeast - this is the larger of the two. They look pretty similar but given how reasonably priced they are I'd recommend the larger species.

                                          A little understated compared with some of my other hawkmoths, but it's brightly coloured underwings are nicely presented.

                                            I know this species as the apollo butterfly, and it's a stunner. Big, and with unusual and crisp wing patterns with a distinctive red spot, this one was pretty high on my list to collection. Gorgeous :)

                                              Smaller than I expected - great attidion to my British collection though

                                              Surprisingly small, although I've seen them many times in the wild. You can see how much smaller it is compared to the camberwell beauty for example in this photo. It's also quite a bit darker in colouration than the stock photo, although knowing the species I was expecting that. Minibeast has a hard time getting hold of British species so I'm inclined to grab them whenever they're available :)

                                                I think I must have seen these on one of David Attenborough's shows because I recognised it when I came across it on the Minibeast site. It's a cool insect but the giraffe-like neck looks considerably more impressive in video form when it's moving than in a frame. I think my specimen also has a somewhat shorter neck than the stock photo - it isn't really all that noticeably elongated and considering that these weevils are tiny, the effect is quite underwhelming. It adds some variety to the collection, but definitely not amongst my favourites.

                                                  Definitely not the most visually stunning of the large beetles out there but it's the largest and most impressive species native to the UK, and I do like having some native UK species in my collection. The specimen is large and well preserved, and it's body isn't squashed like some of the large beetle specimens have to be for preservation.

                                                    The only birdwing I have that's presented on the ventral side, and it's the right way round I think - this species actually looks pretty similar on the dorsal and ventral sides but the yellow markings on the ventral side are more interesting and more clearly defined. This is another really huge specimen and as always immaculately presented by the team at Minibeast

The wings a very dark and have a slightly rippled texture like a piece of dried fruit. As always, superbly arranged and presented by the team at Minibeast.

                                                        Another species with a lot of "wow factor" - this one is really quite big and has a very vibrant blue hue with a striking shape. It's one I've never seen in captivity although it's quite similar in shape and appearance to the Peacock, which I've seen a few times in butterfly houses. As always, immaculately preserved and presented by Minibeast.

                                                          Possibly my least favourite specimen

                                                          To be honest I'm not a big fan of this one. It's quite a bit smaller than I would have expected, and the body is squashed flat, which I'm sure is done for sound reasons to preserve the specimen, but it does look a little odd as a result. It's colourful, but not as vibrant as I would have hoped, and I think perhaps above all else the splayed out pose just doesn't suit a praying mantis, since all the character of the animal is in it's mantis pose, which is just completely lost when it's presented in this way. None of this is to say there's anything wrong with Minibeast's methods here - it's an immaculately preserved and presented specimen as always, it's just the overall result on this one is a bit "meh".

                                                            An oversized stunner

                                                            As shown in the photo, this beauty is at least as big (if not bigger) than the giant atlas moth, and what a gorgeous specimen! with it's long wing tails I imagine this isn't an easy species to preserve in this condition, but mine is in the usual mint condition I've come to expect from Minibeast.

                                                              Very unusual

                                                              I'd never seen or heard of this butterfly before starting my collection with Minibeast but the pattern really caught my eye. It's a small species, but one of the most striking wing patterns out there so makes a really interesting addition to the collection.

                                                                It's enormous!

                                                                This scorpion is giant compared to the average scorpion size, which was an unexpected surprise. It's jet black and looks like it's made of metal armour - very cool indeed. As always, beautifully preserved and presented by Minibeast.

It has a big wow factor thanks to its size and the giant owl eye spot on it's ventral side from which it derives it's name. I was fortunate enough to see one of these in the wild in Costa Rica once, but I've seen them in butterfly houses all over the place.

                                                                                                            This golden edged variant is a little more vivid I think than the other species offered by Minibeast and I'm really happy with my specimen.

                                                                                                              I do think it's nice to have a few non-butterflies in my collection and this one adds some interest to the set. They're beautifully presented as always and I do like them - I would say there are a couple of things to watch out for though. First is the colour - mine anyway are not as colourful as the stock photo - the blue one in particular is very dark and the yellow one has quite a greenish tint to it. The other thing is size - as you can see in the photo, the yellow one is a little bigger than the others.

                                                                                                              These are obviously real animals and it's expected that there will be some variance between specimens - it's still a nice set, just probably one of the first I'd be happy to lose if I needed to make space for others ;)

It's also a species I haven't seen in butterfly houses before so I wonder if it's difficult to transport or breed. Either way it's a welcome addition to my wall.

                                                                                                                  Murder Hornet!

                                                                                                                  I think the main reason I had to have one of these because of it's unofficial name, the murder hornet :D I wish it said that on the frame print, but I know the scientific community are trying to stop that name being used as it invokes an unwarranted level of fear in the public - these hornets can deliver a painful sting, but they aren't going to murder anyone short of maybe a severe allergic reaction.

                                                                                                                  It's big - much bigger than a wasp although perhaps a bit smaller than I was expecting, and expensive although that's understandable given that I went for a queen, of which they are obviously far fewer. Still, a really unique specimen for my collection!

                                                                                                                    Stunning

                                                                                                                    I think there must be some variation in the size of this species because mine definitely seems a little small compared to ones I've seen in the wild. It's a shame that you hardly ever see these in the UK these days (at least not anywhere near London anyway) although I regularly see them in France.

                                                                                                                    The speciment Minibeast prepared for me is exceptionally well preserved - the lines on the wings are so crisp and clear and the scales are so fine that it almost looks lie the pattern is painted onto canvas.

                                                                                                                      Lovely. Quite a bit smaller than I expected!

                                                                                                                      As you can see from the photo, this specimen is not that much bigger than a Monarch, which i was quite surprised about - not that there's anything wrong with being smaller :)

                                                                                                                      It's one of only two species of the "big" moths I've ever seen alive in a butterfly house (the other being the ubiquitous atlas moth), and this one is rare to come across in captivity. It's a particularly lovely moth to look at, and I liked it so much that I moved one of my other specimens to make room for it in pride of place above my key rack.

                                                                                                                        A little like the Madagascan Sunset moth, this species has all the trappings of a butterfly in terms of its physical appearance anyway. It's one of only two species I owned as a kid (no idea what happened to those) so when I decided to start a new collection it was high on my list. Comparatively cheap, this is an underrated species I think with its striking sword tails and it's vibrant highlights. As with all my specimens it was presented beautifully by Minibeast - I have enough of them to say with confidence that the quality of their work is incredibly consistent.

                                                                                                                          I'm on a mission to collect all my favourite British species and unfortunately Minibeast as trouble sourcing many of them due to a lack of breeding programmes in the UK, but if I could choose only one UK species it would probably be the peacock. It's one of the most striking wing patterns of any species anywhere in the world, and we're really lucky to have them here in relative abundance. As with many of the UK species it's quite small compared to most of the other in my collection but if you've seen them in the wild you should know what to expect.
