This is my new favorite specimen. I expected the beetle, to be large, but wow! It's pretty huge. The colors are rich, the craftsmanship is stellar, the still life composition is fantastic. I'm more than happy with this purchase.

Pyrops gunji

Planthopper In Glass Dome (Pyrops gunji)

Cool Interstellar Pattern

I got this specimen because the colors looked like a cool interstellar pattern. I will say that the colors on my specimen I received are much more muted than in the pictures online. I like the specimen overall. Great craftsmanship, great quality, but not as vibrant as a lot of the other specimens I've purchased here.

Top Review
Jewel Beetle Trio Beetle In Box Frame (Polybothris sumptuosa, Chrysochroa fulminans & castelnaudi)

Each One Shines On It's Own

I love these little guys! The 3 of them in one frame is great because it fits perfectly in a spot where I needed a long slim frame. Each one of the beetles can easily stand on it's own and shine. The option to have all 3 in one frame with a lower price point rather than 3 separate framed specimens thus more bang for the buck was great for me too. I'm pretty obsessed with my collection at this point.

Just WOW!

This is by far one of my favorite specimens in my collections. The colors pop like electric neon! So colorful and beautiful. It's hard to believe this little beauty is not from an alien planet. I was actually pleasantly surprised at the size as well. It's larger than I expected.

Stunning Moth!

So pleased with how this one looks on the wall, it was much larger than I thought even though I already knew it was a big moth but it stands out compared to other specimens. A must have for any collection. The detail on the wings is beautiful and the snake heads at the tips are so unique.

Devils Mantis a clear 10/10 purchase

Another gorgeous piece by Minibeasts. The combination of wood and green moss really puts this specimen to another level.

The detail of its pinning and mounting to its final position makes it look as if itll move! My variation looks awesome with one arm slightly closed, really showing the fine details. The colours are amazing and really show how these creatures can be some of the most beautiful!

I am so pleased to have gotten this Mantis in the dome. Looks perfect against the fireplace and the other domes I have!

10/10!

I love this specimen! It doesn't have as bright, shiny, vibrant colors as some of the others do, but that's not why I bought it. I bought it for it's rich textured colors that just look sophisticated. It did not disappoint! Yet another banger from Minibeast! Great quality work!

Campo del Cielo Meteorite In Glass Dome with Wooden base
Campo del Cielo Meteorite In Glass Dome with Wooden base

Rock lover rejoicing

I love this little chunk of meteorite. I love collecting rocks, but this is my first meteorite I have purchased and i'm fascinated by it. The presentation in the glass dome makes me feel like I have a little museum in my home. The only thing I wish I had more of was the origin story. This does come from a letter of authenticity from MiniBeast saying it was "checked and verified by the team" but what sources were checked, how was it verified, where and when was the meteorite collected. Where and when did the meteorite reportedly crash to earth. I'd love to know those bits of information.

Morpho didius

Jaw Dropping!

This was my first specimen I purchased in a glass dome and as soon as I unboxed it I was jaw dropped at how immaculate and beautiful it was! I specially ordered floating shelves that would hold the large glass domes. This one needed a 9'' square shelf because if it's size. Because the wings are so large and the blue wings are so vibrant it almost looks like there is a battery powering the specimen inside. I'm immediately addicted. The only downside I see is that I now want to buy all of the glass dome specimens on the site,

Toilet treasures

We live in a Victorian Schoolhouse built in 1862 so what could be more fitting than a Vintage Entomology Giclee print (plate from 1907). We’ve hung it next to some preciously purchased butterfly specimens - also from Minibeast. We love the contrast between the coral pink walls, the black frames, white frame mount and beautifully coloured butterflies.
