Could you please advise the average sizes of the bugs? thanks

Approximately 2" in length, the width is pending on each bug.

Two styles are shown in pictures. Which one do you actually get?

I got the textured looking ones. Some of these insects are different than the ones I got. I will say that my grandchildren have loved them! They sort by color, they count, they make patterns, etc. Hope this helps

What do you use for a pattern guide for these?

There is a free pattern on Pinterest for a mason jar. After printing that out, I cut it down to size and laminated it. Then I hide a bunch of the bugs and my daughter finds/catches it and puts it "in" the mason jar. She sorts by color or by bug type or we count. I also do sensory play bins with her with these (mixing it among various stuff). These bugs are well made and look realistic (other than the color). I definitely plan on getting these again when I run out.

Are these plastic or rubber? The description says rubber but they look plastic. Thanks!

Rubber, no smell, and very durable. These have experienced over a year of play and they still look new. Plus, minus the caterpillar, they fit in bug tongs perfectly :)
