Amazing specimens and fossils
Amazing specimens and fossils. Always come beautifully presented and in good time. Almost on my 10th order.
Great!
Excellent service! Items shipped super quick, and came perfectly packaged.
Couldn’t fault their service.
Couldn't recommend enough
Couldn't recommend enough! The team were communicative about my order and it arrived when promised. The specimens are perfect and there is evidently a lot of care and precision gone into the frames
Extraordinary service
Wonderful company! I had a specific request and nothing was too much trouble for the team - they made sure I was happy before swiftly dispatching my order. I received a few weeks ago and it is perfect. Meticulous work goes into the insects and frames and it shows. Thank you!
Swift delivery
Swift delivery, easy to use service and were very good to reply to me in regards to what I wanted for my office! Would highly recommend!
Fantastic Bugs
Great frames and bugs - my little nephew is obsessed with them. Arrived quickly and packaged really well to protect them in transit.
Minibeast and Me
Years ago I discovered clear glass frames and last November I started filling a small room with lepidoptera. I knew nothing and started with clear wood frames. The Evolution Store screwed up and sent me black frames. I was furious but it opened the door to Minibeast's black frames. After some confusion over bespoke frames and that 9x7 and 8x10 had little to do with outside dimensions, I then began buying. I now have filled the room and 71 of the frames are from Minibeast. Along the way I've learned the difference between A1 and A1-. Minibeast's specimens are of high quality and are as described. The large inventory contains wonderful surprises so your buyers know what they are doing. I finally engaged a local taxidermist. This allowed me to overcome your restriction of not shipping clear glass frames larger than 8x10. (I got a larger one elsewhere and it developed a small crak in the corner of both panes). Your restriction on birdwings was overcome elsewhere before I found my taxidermist had permits to import birdwings. If you would ship them to permit holders you should advertise it. The few errors ( 2 in a dozen orders) were immediately corrected. I found Tyler friendlier than Paul who was quick cancel my orders. Amusingly Minibeast USA in San Diego is run by Paul. Early on Paul told me you wouldn't sell empty frames. My taxidermist's eyes rolled when I asked about frames. Getting them is a real pain. So I ended up buying for frames as well as specimens. To get a Morpho Aega quartet I had to buy pairs of Mixta and aega to go with the pseudocypris pair you sent and I neeeded a 12x6 for them. Tyler saved the project by selling me one. The male in the pair you sent taught me the difference between A1 and A1-. If there wasn't such a pain with customs, I would have asked to return it. Instead I explained my problem and ordered a single male that showed up as A1. Your customs declarations are brilliant! The fellow in the US who supplies my birdwings uses the same kind of declaration. My first order with him was last November and there's one frame still to come. Your shipments are usually sent within a week and often take less than a week to arrive. Thanks for your fast, friendly, and efficient service.
I love Minibeast
I love Minibeast. I've been buying their products for about a year and they're magnificent. And they'll specialize orders if asked and they replace any broken specimens! They're great!
Beautiful frames
The bugs were very high quality and the customer service was fantastic. They were very helpful and answered any questions I had thoroughly. The frames look beautiful in my house, and I've had many people compliment them. I will be buying more for myself and friends in the future.
I purchased a few frames from…
I purchased a few frames from Minibeast, the quality and workmanship is amazing. I can feel an addiction coming, I want more already!!!
Outstanding Work, highly recommend
I have acquired several framed pieces from Minibeast, and each one has been of exceptional quality.
I have chosen to display these frames in the hallway of my residence, where they consistently garner admiration from guests.
The meticulous craftsmanship employed in the creation of these frames ensures that the butterflies depicted within are showcased in an optimal manner, surpassing any comparable products in the market.
Great club to be a member of
Great club to be a member of. It's always exciting to see what arrives.
Amazing customer service
Amazing customer service. My frame came on time and in perfect condition. Looks great on my wall.
Avoid doing business with
The products are great, just don’t ask them a question or you’ll get a short sharp reply.
Customer service is a 0 out of 5 stars, which for me brings the rating right down, no matter how good their specimens are.

great quality
I’ve bought 5 or 6, maybe even 7 items from them so far and it’s been fantastic. You get an email when your item is with Royal Mail and a tracking number.
The quality of the bugs are great and the frames are perfect too.
I’ll be adding more to my collection every month.
Lack of communication!
Two butterfly boxes were ordered by my son for my husbands 60th birthday. Both were due to be delivered on 3/4 - before my husbands birthday. One has just been delivered (11/4) and no explanation given as to the whereabouts of the other.

Excellent quality
1st time I used this company, the quality of the goods is excellent. I bought a beetle for my daughter and she loved it. Very well presented.
