Hello, friends! It’s Brynne from The Gathered Home, back with your roundup of gorgeous free printables for the month of August!
Last month, when I was rounding up well over 25 vintage moth and butterfly printable images, I kept stumbling across so many other fascinating and beautiful vintage insect images that I knew I had to follow up with a post dedicated to them!
Before I jump into sharing the sources for these printables, here are some ideas for ways to use vintage insect art in your home:
1. Use matching frames and display similar prints in a grid.
2. Make a statement: enlarge a favorite image or two.
Check out my tutorial for enlarging vintage images here!

3. Pair with other vintage nature images (like these) for a pretty display.

4. Even if your style is more clean-lined and modern, vintage insect art still looks great!

Tips for Printing:
- While you can print these vintage images at home if you have a color printer, you can also have them printed at either a local printing place or an online printing shop – the price will be very affordable for smaller standard sizes like 8 x 10″, 5 x 7″ or 8.5 x 11″.
- If you’re looking for a larger print, you can find great deals on poster sizes by doing a little searching online. Or you can have it printed in black and white as an engineering print (somewhere like Staples) for just a few dollars! (And see ideas for decorating with engineering prints here.)

I think this vintage spider image is more interesting than creepy – think Charlotte’s web!
