I wanted this set for awhile, but talked myself out of it multiple times. Eventually I gave in but had convinced myself I would regret the purchase. Boy, was I wrong. The building is satisfying and the final product makes me smile inside and out every time I see it. One piece I got was a mirror image of what it was supposed to be, but as part of the end of the stick the beetle sits on, it caused no build issues. Really a fantastic set. I built the Kingfisher set right afterwards and, as much as I love birds, the insect set wins.
Big, beautiful, and fun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This set was a gift for my 20 year old daughter who loves to build. The finished pieces are big and bright. The beetle and praying mantis can be moved and posed. This is a great set to display.
Amazing

Wonderful experience building and displaying this set. I ended up not displaying the insects on their brick built displays. Instead, I put them on other LEGO Botanical flowers that I have.
In love with this set

This set is AMAZING it’s a fun build and beautiful to look at, I love to pair them with my botanical sets. The only thing I’d say is bad is how sensitive the Hercules Beetle is. The butterfly and mantis have great clutch power but something about the beetle just isn’t as strong. (Ironic that it’s the HERCULES beetle😂)
More insects, please

This set is great! Detailed, educational, and decorative. It comes with separate instruction booklet for each insect so that several people can enjoy building together. The models themselves are very realistic (esp. the praying mantis) and posable. I am not big on Botanicals so this set is right up my alley. Lego, please, make more insects, maybe add a monarch butterfly, a grasshopper, a bee, a ladybug. Please!

I had so much fun with these. I loved how different each insect and setting is - not repetitive at all to put together the 3 models, and each one was small enough to do in one sitting, but didn't feel like a quick or simple build.

Loved the build. Have displayed in my windowsill with my plants. Praying mantis was favorite. Beetle was awesome. Liked the butterfly, but wish it was larger and was a Monarch butterfly.
Great idea

This set contains 3 wonderous models to build and display. A particular favourite is the mantis, but all 3 are cool and display well. Fun and engaging to build, and once done make good decor for any home or office.
Beautiful build

I have never done Legos before and chose the insects as a beginner. Wanted to see how I'd like it. I love puzzles and this was really fun. I'll definitely be getting more.
Fun, Artistic Builds
