Hi everyone
I'm folding the periodical Cicada from Origami Insect 2 by R.Lang and I get stuck in step 57 : Pull the 2 layers to the Front. I cant figure it out. Please anyone guide me to overcome this step ?

Can anyone tell me if step 49 is a closed or open sink?

Re: Robert J. Lang - Periodical Cicada
Currently on my 4th attempt here on the Periodical Cicada, and it's always step 57 & the other steps of 61-67 that throw me off; which is frustrating knowing I'm so close to finishing it!
So I've decided to post here for help before doing any more guessing. This is what my step 57 looks like and I'm fairly certain it's correct. Now my confusion comes from the "Bring two layers of paper to the front." bit. Is it saying to leave what I just folded alone in its place, and then fold back down the "group of layers" to its original location like this (sorry for the blurriness, but it's basically what step 54 looks like before it's folded to the right)?
Or do I swivel those folds (re: the folds shown in the first picture I linked) to somewhere around this location (the other side of this model)? What it's really throwing me off is the usage of the word "front" and the multiple places these folds can be tucked into. I did read phil's explanation but I'm unfortunately still unable to make a determination after 4 tries.
Thanks!

Keep on trying, it will work.

It seems like a lot of people are confused on 61-67. Luckily, I found a tutorial online of those particular steps. Here’s the link: https://youtu.be/BGai0ozV6U8
