Insect cross stitch pattern PDF - an electric blue Hercules beetle charted for beginners. Full crosses only, no backstitch, 11 DMC colors, instant download.
A single horned beetle seen from straight above, drawn like a specimen plate: the wing cases run from bright turquoise at the centre out to royal blue at the rim, split by a lemon-yellow seam down the back, and the tall central horn, the curved side horns, the legs and the antennae are picked out in lemon and straw yellow against royal blue.
The eyes are near-black with a pale glint.
The background is not stitched, so it reads like a little enamel brooch - a cute, quick, tidy piece for a small frame, a hoop or a card front. This is the third of a four-bug set drawn in the same style, so they can be stitched as a matching row.

How to download
Nothing ships. After Etsy confirms payment, sign in at Etsy.com in a mobile or desktop browser, open Your account, choose Purchases, then choose Download Files beside this order. Etsy’s app does not show the download action.
Personal use
This pattern is for personal use. You can stitch it for yourself and stitch it as a gift. Please do not resell, share, copy or redistribute the files, sell the chart as your own, or use it for mass production. The design and the chart stay the property of Stitch Jam Studio.
Good to know
You are buying a PDF chart, not a finished piece and not a kit. No fabric, floss or hoop is included. Colors on a screen can look different from real DMC floss. The preview shows how the finished piece could look. Your result depends on fabric count and floss. Files are in English. You need a PDF reader to open the charts. Free ones work fine.
Returns
Because this is an instant download, all sales are final. No refunds, returns or exchanges once the files are available. If a file will not open, the download stops halfway, or you got the wrong item, message me and I will fix it.
- Print it. Hoop it. Stitch it loud.
