The Insect Collection

The LEGO® The Insect Collection (set 21342) is a 1,111-piece LEGO Ideas set released in 2023, presenting 3 life-size, posable models of insects in their natural habitats. The blue morpho butterfly (Morpho peleides) features adjustable wings in different shades of blue and arrives with a buildable flower and honeybee. The Hercules beetle (Dynastes hercules) — the longest beetle in the world — has attachable wings and the characteristic horns of the male of the species. The fully posable female Chinese mantis comes with a 7-spot ladybird companion. Separate instructions for each model make it ideal for solo or group building, perfect for nature enthusiasts.
