Very nice!

Perfection needs better paper so you want to search for that next... but looks like you have a really nice model there! congrats!

Pretty nice-looking beetle. The eyes are great, and I like the spikes on the sides of the thorax. I have one big suggestion to you that will apply to every model you fold from CP: as much as possible, fold only the creases you need, not an entire grid. There are a lot of unnecessary creases that show on the legs, antennae, and abdomen of your longhorn beetle. Pre-creasing takes longer using this method, but you get a much nicer result.

I like the pose of this model very much.
