This one has color changed elytra, and the other one doesn't have elytra at all

If I remember correctly, at the 2004 OUSA convention Robert Lang mentioned to Ben Muller and some others that there was a way to get the color change elytra as he handed them the CP. So, I believe they're the same, but with a slight variation.

The references fall out of a little trigonometry and noticing that the red box in the above creasepattern is a square. One can calculate the reference point on the right edge to be (7+3*rt(2))/(13+6*rt(2)) or about 0.52327 the length of the square above the bottom right corner. Below are three results from reference finder as close numerical approximation with the third method applied on the creasepattern above.

I know this is a very old thread, but I've been working through the CP and I noticed that the section in the middle (that forms the four horns) is the same as the central section in the butterfly in Insects II rotated 45 degrees:

Hope that helps someone!
