Just an amazing website

I am so happy I happened to come across this website by chance. Each purchase I've made has come in perfect condition. My bedroom wall is beautifully decorated with these, and I've had another two arrive today. 16 all together and I'm not stopping just yet!

Best Entomology Brand!

I love this brand! I've made several purchases from them, and they're always flawless. The preparation is usually pretty quick and so is shipping. Customer service has also always been amazing. This company offers great value for very reasonable prices. I love all of the several specimens I've collected from them. I'd highly recommend them to anyone that enjoys entomology!

Beautiful bugs!

I have been collecting the mini east for a while now, I absolutely LOVE the reward system & I’ve learned about such a variety of species & not to mention they’re beautiful & so gently placed in the frames. Truly would not shop anywhere else for these items, so so pleased, never stop please! I’ve just got my family into collecting them too! Many thanks :) x

Excellent shop!

I was very attracted to this shop. Initially their creative name coupled with their presentation of their products was very clean with well done photography. The fact they also have a point system made it so much fun! Who doesn’t love that??

When I had a question, the customer support was thoughtful, and caring towards their customer. Which is actually important to me.

When the little framed bug finally came in the mail, I was happy to see it was packaged carefully with the words fragile to protect the specimen. When I opened up the box, the insect was perfect and beautifully displayed! So happy to add it to my bug collection! I have already ordered 3 more, and I plan to keep coming back, collecting more cute little bugs and piling up loyalty points along the way! :)

Excellent company

I have ordered a few times from minibeast now and I have never been disappointed. Beautifully preserved specimens that are thoughtfully presented. The customer service is also top-notch and the team are very helpful. As a collector, the loyalty points program is excellent and the quality and variety of specimens available is fantastic. Couldn't recommend this company enough. If you are looking to collect entomology/scientific specimens, this is the company to use! It's great to know that all of their specimens are collected ethically too.

Minibeast without question is the best…

Minibeast without question is the best online entomology company, the specimen collection has everything an entomology lover could want, all specimens are absolutely beautiful framed perfectly in solid sturdy frames the quality is really outstanding. This will be my 24th purchase from minibeast and each order and interaction with the company is seamless any questions or queries are answered quickly and are completed to the highest standard. Not only do you get absolutely beautiful specimens you also get loyalty points with each purchase to use as a discount for any other future purchases which is a really nice touch to to encourage customers to continue to add to their collections.

Highly recommended for frames, domes and curiosities

I’ve ordered many different items in frames, domes and other curiosities from Minibeast over the past few years. They are always presented very well, well packaged and reasonably priced. The butterfly/moth framing is always done with skill to show off the specimen to its best. Highly recommended.

The ONLY Place for Specimens By Post

I have used Minibeast UK several times to buy gifts for others and items for myself as well. I have always been amazed by the quality of the specimens and the range on offer. The items are excellently framed and presented, and the customer service is impeccable. I make sure to recommend Minibeast to anyone who has an interest in alternative decor and/or specimen collecting. What a wonderful company to have available to us. I can't wait for my Sunset Moth to arrive - what a beauty!

Perfect

Perfect I have ordered multiple times as I loved them so much I had to order for my friends, family and partner. Everyone is so happy with them I even had one shipped across the world during the Christmas rush and it arrived before the new year! Amazing. Fantastic quality and so so happy they're ethically sourced (it's very important)
