About these insect patterns

Beetles, bees, dragonflies, cicadas, hornets and mantises, drawn like the plates in an old entomology book and charted for black aida.

Buying a few? Every pattern is $4, and five or more are $2 each — mix and match across all 54.

Questions

Are these insect cross stitch patterns good for beginners?
Yes. All 54 are whole cross stitch only, with no backstitch, fractional stitches or french knots, and every chart prints with a symbol in each square.
What size is a finished insect pattern?
Each chart is 130 stitches square: about 9.3 inches on 14-count aida and 7.2 inches on 18-count.
Is this a PDF download or a kit?
A PDF download only, ready the moment you pay. No fabric or floss is posted. The floss key lists every DMC shade and how many skeins to buy.
