Clear WInged Butterfly In Glass Dome (Godyris duillia)

I can see Clearwing now the rain has gone

This Clearwing specimen is perfectly preserved and pinned. The glass dome really elevates what some people might see as a comparatively plain butterfly into an eye catching piece. I would recommend the brown wooden base option.

Double Madagascan Sunset Moth (Chrysiridia rhipheus)

Perfect Centrepiece of Tessellation

I think the ventral and dorsal colours on this moth are stunning and it has made for an impressive centrepiece of a wall tessellation.

As always, presentation is flawless within the frame and the frame itself, and delivery was as quick as anyone could hope for a bespoke item.

I truly recommend this specimen and have not received any so far that have not exceeded my expectations.

Well done Minibeast team!

This is the first framed butterfly I've ever owned and it is beautiful! The specimen is perfect. The blue colour changes in the light like magic.

Best subscription!

The arrival of a new minibeast is a big event in our house, we gather round the box and wonder what type of insect we will have today, every time we discover the new addition to our collection it’s met with ‘WOW!’ As we all take a look at the new addition.
We love these, the colour of the insects, it’s creative, high quality specimens and frames and educational.
Best subscription I’ve ever paid for, we’re at the start of our collection, can’t wait to get more and more!

6th month - Monotypic Grasshopper

This was my 6th sub and is an incredible addition. The contrast in the colours is so crazy looking and was such a surprise as I've never heard of them before.

The collection is really growing now along with the few I've bought separately, its gonna look incredible once the wall is filled with frames.

4th month - Butterfly Cicada

This was my 4th sub specimen and it definitely isn't the flashiest but the colours on it are awesome. Can understand where they get their name from as at a distance it does look like a butterfly.

Welcome surprise

I got this for free as part of an offer and I'd be lying if I said that it was something I would actually buy normally. That being said I've come to really enjoy looking at this one even though its not as visually crazy as most of my other frames.

As I've come to expect from Minibeast the quality is near perfect.

Pictures can not do this one justice!

Ive been waiting on one of these to come back in stock and was sooo happy when it came up. This is one of my top 5 favourite insects and I couldn't ask for a specimen of much better quality.

Everyone who's never seen one before always asks if its naturally that colour or if it was painted!

2nd month - Leaf Insect

This was my 2nd month of the sub. I was likely going to get a leaf insect of some sort anyway as they're incredible looking so was super happy to see this when I opened the box. As always the quality is top notch.

The first of many!

One of the best choices Ive made in a long time was to start this subscription. You 100% get value for money and also a great surprise each month.

I chose the Death's Head Hawk Moth for my first as it's too much of an iconic insect to miss out on. Couldn't ask for better quality and the frames are really well made.
