Try searching on the origami database.
If you can fold CPs you might want to try Sipho Mabona's dung beetle, you can find the CP here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sipmab/443802080/
However this is complex box-pleating so it's quite difficult.

Um, people prefer to call them "scarab beetles" instead of "DUNG beetles". Maybe you should try searching for that.

Re: Dung beetle
They are the same class but definitely different.Dung beetles are usually earthy tones,and are known for rolling huge balls of soil or sand ,also they have smaller jaws and lower antennae .
Scarabs tend towards brighter colours and shinier cases .They tend to have elytra but can only fly short distances. Im no expert but the word was always associated with species from the developing world .
Whereas European beetles are affectionately called chafers , doodlebugs and ladybirds .
In America nearly everything encountered is a roach
