Lego continues to expand its creative horizons with The Insect Collection, an innovative set that bridges the gap between natural history and building block artistry. This detailed collection brings three of nature’s most fascinating insects to life in stunning, displayable detail, perfect for both Lego enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Because who would ever think of creating Lego insects? It’s definitely something special, that’s for sure.
Currently available for $64, down from its original price of $80, this 20% discount offers a $16 savings on a unique set that’s a little different from what you might normally expect from the company. We’ve seen bouquets of flowers before and plenty of different nature-related options, but this one really takes the cake in a fun and unique way.
Build a bundle of bugs
The 1,111-piece set showcases three remarkably detailed insects: the vibrant Blue Morpho butterfly with its distinctive blue wings and white spots, accompanied by a bonus honeybee and flower, a Hercules beetle with attachable wings and characteristic male horns; and a posable female Chinese mantis complete with a charming 7-spotted ladybug in its habitat. Basically, if you know anyone who likes bugs and wants to build their own, they’re right now.
What makes this set particularly special is its focus on life-sized recreations and attention to scientific accuracy. Each model can be posed and displayed individually, with the Chinese mantis measuring an impressive 7 inches high and 6.5 inches wide. It looks almost like the real thing, even if it is crafted from a series of Lego bricks. Don’t discount how realistic they can look when you build structures out of them correctly.
The set includes separate building instructions for each insect, plus an educational booklet with fascinating facts about these creatures. Whether displayed in a home office, dorm room, or living space, these models serve as both sophisticated decor pieces and conversation starters, offering a unique blend of educational value and artistic display.
If you need or want a new Lego set to add to your collection, this is a great choice and it’ll save you plenty of money. You’ll absolutely love the color choices and bugs in the set, and it’ll feel like you’ve had a major accomplishment when you finally finish building. But be sure you grab the deal at the lowest price, while it’s available right now, because these prices won’t stick around for long. And Lego sets always make a really great addition to any collection.
