My favorite subscription!

The monthly bug subscription is such a fun idea and gift for entomology enthusiasts; it’s the only subscription I have for myself! Shipping to the US is seamless, and the product quality has been great. I have already got 5 bugs with another on the way!

Always a great experience on unique products

I have always been pleased when ordering specimens from Minibeast. They prepare them quickly and have reliable shipping. I have ordered their products many times, and on the rare event something is damaged during shipping (not a huge surprise when packages have to go from the UK to the USA) they have responded quickly and always gone above and beyond to fix the issue.

The quality is high tier and I’m from Australia and it doesn’t take forever to come. Communication is given how an estimated time how long it takes to be made and shipped and given notice when it’s been shipped.

Great unusual present

My wife has wanted a death head month for ages . After doing some searching I discovered minibeast and I am so glad I did. Everything we've ordered has been great quality and looks amazing. Very happy wife.

Good quality and fast delivery

Good quality and fast delivery, the specimens always arrive intact. We're happy with most of our purchases, though it's possible to get unlucky and receive a specimen that's not as big and vivid as in the pictures.

I'm a member of their monthly club

I'm a member of their monthly club, as well as buying ad hoc. The butterflies are always of high quality, well packaged, and arrive without damage. It was also important to me that they are ethically sourced (and from my due diligence and research, I'm happy that they are). I'm happy!

Amazing company

Fast delivery, perfectly packaged and beautiful specimens.
We started with just the one, and now have 6 with many more planned. The loyalty points scheme is great and the monthly subscription for surprise frames is incredible.

Ethical production and great service

I love buying from minibeast - they provide great customer service, reply very promptly and keep you up to date with where your order is at in the process. I love that the samples are all ethically sourced and work with conservation also. Can’t wait to continue my minibeast collection!

Been a years long customer

We have been buying from minibeast for years and have the monthly subscription which gives you a surprise insect that you can’t get from the store which I find is great value for money. Never have I been disappointed with the quality of the specimens or other products and the few times I have had to use customer services they have been polite and quick to respond and were able to sort out the issue quickly. Always recommend this site to anyone looking to get into insect specimens

Birthday every month!

I’m on the monthly subscription and it feels like my birthday every month! Would highly recommend if you can’t decide which ones you want. Only reason it isn’t a 5 star is because I would like more of a varied size frame in the subscription and to gain some form of a reward for signing up monthly. Other than this, it’s been a really good experience so far!

Minibeast are great!

Minibeast are great!
Incredible specimens and always arrive intact with protective packaging. Every specimen makes a great new addition to my steadily growing collection 🦋🪲

I would, however, love it if there were more information about each species included along with them, as I enjoy reading up on the lifecycles of these incredible creatures.
