A dragon (Latin draco, Ancient Greek drakōn, "snake"; actually: "the staring one" or "sharp-eyed animal) among the Greeks and Romans the name for any non-poisonous larger snake species) is a serpent-like hybrid creature of mythology, in which characteristics of reptiles, birds and predators are combined in different variations. It is scaled in most myths, has two hind legs, two front legs, two wings (thus six limbs), and a long tail. It is said to have the ability to breathe fire. The dragon is known as a mythical creature from myths, legends and fairy tales of many cultures; until modern times, it was considered to be a real existing animal. In oriental and western creation myths, the dragon is a symbol of chaos, a monster hostile to God and man that holds back the fruit-bearing waters and threatens to devour the sun and moon. It must be overcome and killed by a hero or deity in battle so that the world can come into being or continue to exist (dragon slayer). In contrast, the East Asian dragon is a conflicting creature with predominantly positive qualities: rain and good luck bringer and symbol of fertility and imperial power.Product Number: N03615Product Name: DragonThis design comes with the following sizes:Size: 5.19"(w) X 6.69"(h) (131.9 X 170.0mm)Size: 6.10"(w) X 7.87"(h) (154.9 X 199.9mm)The following formats are included in the file you will receive: .DST .EXP .JEF .PES .VP3 .XXX .VIP .HUSYou MUST have an embroidery machine and the software needed to transfer it from your computer to the machine to use this file.

Insects (Insecta), also called notch animals or Kerfe, are the most species-rich class of the arthropods (Arthropoda) and at the same time with absolute majority also the species-richest class of the animals at all. Almost one million insect species have been scientifically described to date (925,000 according to Grimaldi/Engel 2005, 865,000 according to Nielsen/Mound 1997). This means that more than 60 percent of all described animal species are insects. According to different extrapolations, however, one reckons with a multiple, whereby above all in the tropical rain forests still millions of undiscovered species are assumed. The first fossil record of insects dates back to the Devonian period, about 400 million years ago.The word "insect" (from Latin īnsectum "incised") was adopted as a foreign word in the 18th century and thus means "incised (animal)," referring to the strongly separated body parts. It is a loan translation of ancient Greek éntoma zōa, German 'insects, notched animals' (literally 'incised (animals); to entémnein, German 'to incise'), which is included in entomology (entomology). In the past, the scientific name Hexapoda (Greek for 'six-footed') was also used, which is now reserved for a higher-level group.It is mainly the insect species that are useful to humans, such as the honey bee and other species living in their immediate environment, that have found their way into human culture. The most famous treatment of the insect motif in literature is Maya the Bee and Her Adventures by Waldemar Bonsels. In music, the Mexican folk song La Cucaracha and Der Hummelflug are particularly popular. The latter also found its way into heavy metal via the band Manowar. In Germany, the nursery rhyme "May Beetle Fly!" has long been a cultural staple.Product Number: N11094Product Name: Abstract-Insects-00001002This design comes with the following sizes:Size: 5.99"(w) X 7.90"(h) (152.2mm X 200.6mm) Size: 6.13"(w) X 8.06"(h) (155.6mm X 204.6mm) Size: 6.17"(w) X 8.09"(h) (156.8mm X 205.6mm) Size: 6.21"(w) X 8.17"(h) (157.8mm X 207.6mm) Size: 6.32"(w) X 8.29"(h) (160.6mm X 210.6mm) Size: 6.43"(w) X 8.45"(h) (163.2mm X 214.6mm) Size: 6.49"(w) X 8.53"(h) (164.8mm X 216.6mm) Size: 6.55"(w) X 8.61"(h) (166.4mm X 218.6mm) Size: 6.57"(w) X 8.65"(h) (167.0mm X 219.6mm) Size: 6.82"(w) X 8.96"(h) (173.2mm X 227.6mm) Size: 6.95"(w) X 9.12"(h) (176.6mm X 231.6mm) Size: 7.01"(w) X 9.19"(h) (178.0mm X 233.4mm) Size: 7.15"(w) X 9.39"(h) (181.6mm X 238.4mm) Size: 7.17"(w) X 9.43"(h) (182.0mm X 239.6mm) Size: 7.47"(w) X 9.82"(h) (189.8mm X 249.4mm) Size: 7.73"(w) X 10.13"(h) (196.4mm X 257.4mm) Size: 7.78"(w) X 10.21"(h) (197.6mm X 259.4mm) Size: 7.88"(w) X 10.33"(h) (200.2mm X 262.4mm) Size: 10.48"(w) X 13.75"(h) (266.2mm X 349.2mm)The following formats are included in the file you will receive: .DST .EXP .JEF .PES .VP3 .XXX .PEC .U01You MUST have an embroidery machine and the software needed to transfer it from your computer to the machine to use this file.

Geckos (Gekkonidae) are a family of pangolins (Squamata). Lizards have inhabited the earth for about 50 million years and have spread worldwide in the course of their evolution. Thanks to their excellent adaptability, geckos have conquered a wide variety of habitats and can be found both in the temperate zones and in the deserts of the earth, but especially in the tropics. There they have brought it to a great diversity of species.  Geckos are small to medium-sized lizards, which can grow between 1.6 cm (Sphaerodactylus ariasae) and almost 40 cm. The Kawekaweau gecko (Hoplodactylus delcourti), which probably originated in New Zealand and probably became extinct in the late 19th century, even reached a body length of about 60 cm. The Rodrigues giant gecko (Phelsuma gigas), which became extinct around 1840, was similarly large. About three quarters of the gecko species are crepuscular or nocturnal animals with a correspondingly inconspicuous coloration and a slit pupil adapted to the nocturnal activity. The helmeted gecko (Tarentola chazaliae) is the only vertebrate species known to recognize colors at night. Geckos owe this characteristic to their extremely light-sensitive eyes. The cones of the helmet gecko's retina are about 350 times more sensitive to light than those of human eyes at dusk. Sometimes the shy nocturnal and usually very nimble animals sunbathe in the early twilight or during the day, as most members of the genus day geckos like to do. The latter, unlike their nocturnal relatives, are more conspicuously colored and have a round pupil. Another subdivision among geckos relates to their toes. A rough subdivision can be made into lamellate geckos and clawed geckos.Product Number: N11091Product Name: Animals-Salamander-00001000This design comes with the following sizes:Size: 5.83"(w) X 6.21"(h) (148.0mm X 157.8mm) Size: 5.91"(w) X 6.29"(h) (150.0mm X 159.8mm) Size: 5.94"(w) X 6.33"(h) (150.8mm X 160.8mm) Size: 6.02"(w) X 6.41"(h) (152.8mm X 162.8mm) Size: 6.13"(w) X 6.53"(h) (155.6mm X 165.8mm) Size: 6.24"(w) X 6.65"(h) (158.4mm X 168.8mm) Size: 6.46"(w) X 6.88"(h) (164.0mm X 174.8mm) Size: 6.57"(w) X 7.00"(h) (166.8mm X 177.8mm) Size: 6.76"(w) X 7.20"(h) (171.6mm X 182.8mm) Size: 6.79"(w) X 7.24"(h) (172.4mm X 183.8mm) Size: 7.05"(w) X 7.51"(h) (179.0mm X 190.8mm) Size: 7.13"(w) X 7.59"(h) (181.0mm X 192.8mm) Size: 7.16"(w) X 7.63"(h) (181.8mm X 193.8mm) Size: 7.68"(w) X 8.18"(h) (195.0mm X 207.8mm) Size: 7.75"(w) X 8.26"(h) (196.8mm X 209.8mm) Size: 7.79"(w) X 8.30"(h) (197.8mm X 210.8mm) Size: 8.09"(w) X 8.61"(h) (205.4mm X 218.8mm) Size: 8.31"(w) X 8.85"(h) (211.0mm X 224.8mm) Size: 8.38"(w) X 8.93"(h) (212.8mm X 226.8mm) Size: 9.16"(w) X 9.76"(h) (232.6mm X 247.8mm) Size: 9.71"(w) X 10.35"(h) (246.6mm X 262.8mm) Size: 9.97"(w) X 10.62"(h) (253.2mm X 269.8mm) Size: 10.89"(w) X 11.61"(h) (276.6mm X 294.8mm) Size: 11.08"(w) X 11.80"(h) (281.4mm X 299.8mm) Size: 11.85"(w) X 12.63"(h) (301.0mm X 320.8mm) Size: 12.92"(w) X 13.77"(h) (328.2mm X 349.8mm)The following formats are included in the file you will receive: .DST .EXP .JEF .PES .VP3 .XXX .PEC .U01You MUST have an embroidery machine and the software needed to transfer it from your computer to the machine to use this file.

A bat is a mammal that can fly and belongs to the group of bats. Bats have wings that span from the wrists to the ankles and stretch skins between the wrists and shoulders, between the fingers, and between the legs. They are the only mammals that can fly. Bats have dense fur, usually brown, gray, or almost black in color, and flying skin that stretches from their wrists to their ankles. They can live to a surprising age, 20 to 30 years. Bats are nocturnal and spend the day resting and sleeping in their hiding places, which can be tree or rock cavities, attics, or ruins. They feed mainly on insects, but also on fruit, birds, fish, or small bats.Product Number: A00291Product Name: BatThis design comes with the following sizes:Size: 3.98"(w) X 2.99"(h) (101.2 X 76.0mm) Size: 4.74"(w) X 3.59"(h) (120.4 X 91.2mm) Size: 5.53"(w) X 4.19"(h) (140.4 X 106.4mm) Size: 6.71"(w) X 5.08"(h) (170.4 X 129.0mm) Size: 7.85"(w) X 5.94"(h) (199.4 X 151.0mm) The following formats are included in the file you will receive: .DST .EXP .JEF .PES .VP3 .XXX .VIP .HUSYou MUST have an embroidery machine and the software needed to transfer it from your computer to the machine to use this file.

A spider is an eight-legged arthropod animal that belongs to the class of arachnids. Spiders always have eight legs and two limbs, unlike insects, which always have six legs and three limbs. Spiders also have up to eight simple point eyes, while insects have two so-called compound eyes. Spiders are known for the webs they build to catch their prey. The prey are usually insects that get caught in a spider's web. The web is made of sticky silk threads that the spider forms with its abdomen. Spiders are important animals for the ecosystem, as they form a large proportion of the soil animals and have a regulating effect on the soil community.

Soccer is a ball sport in which two teams compete against each other with the goal of scoring more goals than their opponents to win the game. The game is usually played for two 45-minute periods, plus overtime and, if necessary, extra time and/or penalties. A team usually consists of eleven players, one of whom is the goalkeeper. The ball may be played with the whole body except the arms and hands; it is mainly kicked with the foot. Only the goalkeeper (inside his own penalty area) - or the field players when taking a throw-in - may touch the ball with their hands.The success of soccer is based, firstly, on its simplicity. The cost of resources and equipment is relatively low (see, for example, street soccer), which has made it very popular in many developing countries, and it is easy for newcomers and spectators to understand or even take for granted. Secondly, the number of goals is relatively low, which increases the value of a goal and makes the games more exciting, since superior or better-placed teams do not win as often or can be determined as winners early on as in other ball sports.However, these special features have been counteracted in recent times by more complicated regulations (including changes to the offside rule) and ever greater (technical) expense in top-level soccer (including video evidence), which are intended to lead to "fairer" soccer.Soccer originated in Great Britain in the second half of the 19th century and spread to continental Europe and other continents from the 1880s and 1890s. It is considered the world's most popular team sport. Unlike other sports (such as handball), top clubs in soccer usually developed only in large cities, which can boast the very elaborate infrastructure with recently increasing demands.Product Number: N03776Product Name: SoccerThis design comes with the following sizes:Size: 3.50"(w) X 3.91"(h) (89.0 X 99.2mm) Size: 4.24"(w) X 4.73"(h) (107.8 X 120.2mm) Size: 4.95"(w) X 5.52"(h) (125.7 X 140.2mm) Size: 6.01"(w) X 6.70"(h) (152.6 X 170.2mm) Size: 7.03"(w) X 7.84"(h) (178.6 X 199.2mm)The following formats are included in the file you will receive: .DST .EXP .JEF .PES .VP3 .XXX .VIP .HUSYou MUST have an embroidery machine and the software needed to transfer it from your computer to the machine to use this file.

The butterfly, the butterflies (Lepidoptera) form the most species-rich insect order after the beetles (Coleoptera) with nearly 160,000 described species (as of 2011), about 130 families and 46 superfamilies. About 700 species are newly discovered every year. Butterflies are distributed on all continents except Antarctica. In Central Europe they are represented by about 4,000 species; for the whole of Europe the catalog of Ole Karsholt lists more than 10,600 species. In Germany there are about 3,700 species.Butterflies go through a cycle of unusual shape changes during their life: flightless "caterpillars" develop from eggs, move around by changing shape, and grow considerably while feeding intensively. In the process, they usually change their skin several times for a larger one ("molting"). At the end of the caterpillar stage, with the formation of a firmer shell, they pass into a state that outwardly appears to be dormant, the so-called "pupa". In the pupae, they undergo significant changes: they develop wings and transform into the flight-capable form called the "moth", also known as the imago. The moths ingest liquid food through proboscises and one female and one male mate with fertilization of the female's eggs. The females then lay the fertilized eggs, which hatch into caterpillars. This development is called the metamorphosis.The caterpillar is the actual feeding stage of the butterfly. In some (e.g., peacock moth (Saturniidae), hen moth (Lasiocampidae)), it is even the only one in which food is ingested at all. The moths of these species then live only for reproduction and die soon after hatching. Since the body volume of the caterpillars increases greatly, they have to molt several times until they reach their final size. Typically, they molt four to five times, roughly doubling their volume each time. For the hormonally controlled molt, the caterpillar swells until the old skin bursts and can be pushed backwards by muscle movements.Product Number: N10898Product Name: butterfly-VIIThis design comes with the following sizes:Size: 2.43"(w) X 2.06"(h) (61.8mm X 52.2mm) Size: 2.47"(w) X 2.09"(h) (62.8mm X 53.0mm) Size: 2.55"(w) X 2.15"(h) (64.8mm X 54.6mm) Size: 2.63"(w) X 2.22"(h) (66.8mm X 56.4mm) Size: 2.71"(w) X 2.28"(h) (68.8mm X 58.0mm) Size: 2.79"(w) X 2.35"(h) (70.8mm X 59.8mm) Size: 2.91"(w) X 2.45"(h) (73.8mm X 62.2mm) Size: 2.98"(w) X 2.52"(h) (75.8mm X 64.0mm) Size: 3.85"(w) X 3.25"(h) (97.8mm X 82.6mm) Size: 4.13"(w) X 3.48"(h) (104.8mm X 88.4mm) Size: 4.28"(w) X 3.61"(h) (108.8mm X 91.8mm) Size: 4.36"(w) X 3.69"(h) (110.8mm X 93.6mm) Size: 4.40"(w) X 3.72"(h) (111.8mm X 94.4mm) Size: 4.44"(w) X 3.75"(h) (112.8mm X 95.2mm) Size: 4.48"(w) X 3.78"(h) (113.8mm X 96.0mm) Size: 4.83"(w) X 4.08"(h) (122.8mm X 103.6mm) Size: 4.87"(w) X 4.12"(h) (123.8mm X 104.6mm) Size: 5.35"(w) X 4.51"(h) (135.8mm X 114.6mm) Size: 5.46"(w) X 4.61"(h) (138.8mm X 117.2mm) Size: 5.50"(w) X 4.65"(h) (139.8mm X 118.0mm) Size: 5.54"(w) X 4.68"(h) (140.8mm X 118.8mm) Size: 5.58"(w) X 4.72"(h) (141.8mm X 119.8mm) Size: 5.78"(w) X 4.88"(h) (146.8mm X 124.0mm) Size: 5.90"(w) X 4.98"(h) (149.8mm X 126.4mm) Size: 6.06"(w) X 5.11"(h) (153.8mm X 129.8mm) Size: 6.17"(w) X 5.21"(h) (156.8mm X 132.4mm) Size: 6.37"(w) X 5.38"(h) (161.8mm X 136.6mm) Size: 6.41"(w) X 5.41"(h) (162.8mm X 137.4mm) Size: 6.57"(w) X 5.54"(h) (166.8mm X 140.8mm) Size: 6.65"(w) X 5.61"(h) (168.8mm X 142.6mm) Size: 6.72"(w) X 5.68"(h) (170.8mm X 144.2mm) Size: 7.00"(w) X 5.91"(h) (177.8mm X 150.2mm) Size: 7.28"(w) X 6.14"(h) (184.8mm X 156.0mm) Size: 7.47"(w) X 6.31"(h) (189.8mm X 160.2mm) Size: 7.67"(w) X 6.47"(h) (194.8mm X 164.4mm) Size: 7.71"(w) X 6.51"(h) (195.8mm X 165.4mm) Size: 7.87"(w) X 6.64"(h) (199.8mm X 168.6mm) Size: 7.98"(w) X 6.74"(h) (202.8mm X 171.2mm) Size: 8.30"(w) X 7.01"(h) (210.8mm X 178.0mm) Size: 8.34"(w) X 7.04"(h) (211.8mm X 178.8mm) Size: 8.46"(w) X 7.14"(h) (214.8mm X 181.4mm) Size: 8.93"(w) X 7.54"(h) (226.8mm X 191.4mm) Size: 9.20"(w) X 7.77"(h) (233.8mm X 197.4mm) Size: 9.52"(w) X 8.04"(h) (241.8mm X 204.2mm) Size: 9.60"(w) X 8.10"(h) (243.8mm X 205.8mm) Size: 10.43"(w) X 8.80"(h) (264.8mm X 223.6mm) Size: 10.86"(w) X 9.17"(h) (275.8mm X 232.8mm) Size: 11.49"(w) X 9.70"(h) (291.8mm X 246.4mm) Size: 12.16"(w) X 10.27"(h) (308.8mm X 260.8mm) Size: 13.77"(w) X 11.63"(h) (349.8mm X 295.4mm) Size: 14.17"(w) X 11.96"(h) (359.8mm X 303.8mm) The following formats are included in the file you will receive: .DST .EXP .JEF .PES .VP3 .XXX .PEC .U01You MUST have an embroidery machine and the software needed to transfer it from your computer to the machine to use this file.
