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.
It is difficult to estimate the exact number of minibeasts in the world due to the vast diversity and abundance of these organisms. However, scientists believe there are millions of species of minibeasts, including insects, spiders, and other small invertebrates.
Minibeast literally means 'small animal', so any animal sufficiently small enough can be called that.
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.

Minibeasts are simply small animals such as spiders, snails, slugs, etc. They are called invertebrates which are animals without a backbone, and these are the most numerous type of animal in the world. They are an important food source for some animals and birds.
Minibeasts that are omnivores include centipedes, some beetles, and certain species of ants and spiders. These minibeasts feed on a combination of plant material, other insects, and decaying matter to obtain nutrients.
