Minibeast Entomology Reviews 136

Some lovely pieces, specimens themselves were wonderful, but the preparation and attention to details was unfortunately quite poor.

A framed print I ordered hadn't been properly secured, the retaining clips not pushed down which meant the backing had been damaged and clips were pushing into the print (customer service told me the item would not have been shipped like that, and the damage would've happened during transit - it was very clear to me that many of the backing clips had not been pushed down, it was a bit insulting to be told that this would've happened during transit when that's clearly not the case, I would much rather have appreciated some honesty and accountability).

I ordered an ammonite in glass dome jar also. The fossil itself is lovely, mostly as pictured, though much thinner than you might expect. This was, unfortunately, really badly prepared though. The fossil back is covered in sloppy glue from where it's been stuck on the rod (CS tells me this is normal), and there was a fair bit of damage to the wooden base where the mounting rod is stuck. I was advised it should not have been shipped in this condition. Just really not impressed by the preparation (or, to be honest, the response from CS).

I was offered to return the items, but as I'm generally pleased with the actual specimens (and can't be doing with the hassle of returns), I elected to keep these for now. Just be wary that the preparation may not be up to par, but the specimens generally appear pretty good.

On the plus side, the moth was generally done pretty well, besides some mess inside the glass frame (but this is only visible very close up). So insects and such may or may not be better prepared than the rest.

I did contact CS regarding my concerns before posting any reviews but, as I say, I wasn't greatly impressed. It's a shame because there's some really nice looking pieces and I was planning on expanding the collection, but if this is the level of care put into the products I will be looking elsewhere.

This company is brilliant! The products are just as described, the quality of each specimen is superb. Framing is done to a very high standard. Packaging is really good full of bubble wrap and delivery great too. I have bought 7 frames and an insect in a resin block and I’m extremely pleased with every order I have purchased.
I would highly recommend this company to buy from.

I absolutely love this company I have purchased a couple of items and they are of a very high quality, I’ve now joined the minibeast club very excited for this months butterfly

The moth I bought for my grandson is stunning.
Better than we imagined it would be.
Beautifully framed. An excellent service . Thank you

The specimens sent in the frames are always in really great condition

Expérience parfaite, livraison rapide et produits incroyables !

Came across Minibeast when I was looking for entomology frames and they popped up in the search engine. I bought 1 frame of a pair of sunset moths to see what the quality was like and I was not disappointed. They were so beautifully presented I joined the monthly subscription almost immediately and now look forward to getting a surprise specimen through the post every month, what a great idea, makes me feel like a kid again! I will soon have a wall covered in the frames and it will look stunning and a great talking point when people visit! I also like the fact the specimens are ethically sourced and each piece sold helps preerve habitat and give local people an ethical income. Brilliant!

Absolutely beautiful pieces! I’m slowly building quite the collection now and am part of their monthly mini beast club; I’m very excited to see the beautiful pieces arrive once a month to add to my collection, but I can’t help still buying more pieces along the way too! Every detail is impeccable and all pieces are presented beautifully in either frames or glass domes (I’m a fan of both!), everything is shipped really carefully and packaged perfectly too. If you’re a growing enthusiast like me, I absolutely recommend Minibeast!

Such a phenomenal range! and some of the most beautiful specimens I have seen. Butterflies, Bee’s, Bats, Beetles, Dinosaur bones! and even Meteorites!

The monthly MiniBeast club they offer is brilliant, I immediately became a member to grow the collection. 10/10 recommend

I got my first delivery for the Minibeast Club Subscription - a Death's Head Hawk Moth.

The frame was stunning and very well made, I can't wait to get my next one!

Really happy with our purchase. Arrived quickly and well packaged

Looks amazing, can’t wait to get more to add to our collection!

I've placed multiple orders with Minibeast now and each time I marvel at the quality of both the specimens (in my case fossils) and the framing of said specimens. As I write this I actually have another order placed and awaiting dispatch. The frames arrive well wrapped and with care so that the specimens don't shift in transit within their frames. I frequently find myself browsing the website to see what to order next

Brilliant service. Dispatch and delivery was very quick despite ordering during a very busy period and it being a made to order item.
I ordered a Scorpion in resin as a gift for my son. It's a really nicely finished piece and he absolutely loves it.
Arrived very well packed and marked up as fragile.
100% would order again and recommend

I have been following Minibeast now for sometime and my collection is growing with them, the specimens are great, customer service I have found to be good and variety of specimens is excellent, there are bugs out there I never knew existed.

Thanks Minibeast, for the collecting experience you've given me.

Kind regards Aaron

Absolutely love my new taxidermy frames. Postage is really quick and they look so amazing. Very professionally done e.

My partner loves them I have bought a few but plan to buy many more. Always really good quality, and well packaged.

The team at MiniBeast have been absolutely fantastic! My father has always had an interest in butterflies and hasn't always had the time to focus on it. However, now in retirement, MiniBeast have helped him find his passion again and he is ordering from them monthly now! He's the happiest 87 year old ever!

My First time buying from minibeast, and it honestly will not be my last! In fact i placed 2 more orders this week! There frames and their choice’s of specimens they have available are amazing.

The insect frames from Minibeast are of the highest quality and are beautifully made. Ordering is easy and communication is excellent and swift if you have a query. The order was well packaged and delivery was as expected.
