Minibeasts, or small invertebrates, employ various strategies for self-protection. Many possess physical adaptations like exoskeletons, shells, or spines that deter predators. Additionally, some use camouflage to blend into their surroundings, while others may exhibit warning coloration to signal toxicity. Behavioral tactics, such as fleeing or playing dead, also help them evade threats.
Many minibeasts, specifically insects, have the ability to fly. Common flying minibeasts include butterflies, bees, flies, and dragonflies. While not all minibeasts can fly, a significant portion of insects, which constitute the largest group of minibeasts, possess wings and are capable of flight.

Turtles are not classified as minibeasts; they are reptiles and belong to the class Reptilia. Minibeasts typically refer to small invertebrates like insects, spiders, and worms, which have no backbone. Turtles, being vertebrates with a hard shell, are much larger and distinctly different from what is commonly considered minibeasts.
