Such a fun and easy build. Great for children and for a shelf piece. I think ideas needs to create more insects for the future sets.

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.

This set is pretty sick tbh. I got it for my hommie, and he was very appreciative. We had a good laugh about how much better this set is than the lego ideas botanical garden. Holy wow is that set not worth your money. This set though, its straight fire. Lego Ideas is a mixed bag of theme, so its always a gamble, but this set its the jackpot.
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.
Nice one to start.on

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

I was not expected to enjoy this set as much as I did. The three insects are beautifully done and were fascinating to assemble. The building process provided the perfect break from my high-pressure job.
Fantastic

I absolutely loved this set! The pieces are a good size so I was able to split it up over 3 different days to “ration” vs blowing through the whole build at once. I love that they move so you have options for display/positioning them. I waited a while to pull the trigger on these because of the price tag, but they’re well worth it!
Highly Recommend!

My husband and I loved building this set. He is a HUGE insect lover. Each piece had its own building style that we aren't used to and the intricate details are beautiful. The details to the surroundings of each creature are also amazing and comes together beautifully. We hope to see more in the future! Overall, very fun build! Our favorite so far.
