I just designed a mantis it is looking good so far but the abdomen is quite short I am using 22.5 degrees so can someone help me out I don't know how to use sqrt or anything so can someone help me.

It's extremely difficult to help you if we can't see your model or crease pattern. In general, in order to get a longer flap, you need to enlarge the circle representing that flap. Given that you're using 22.5, that may or may not involve redoing the entire crease pattern--again, I can't offer a better solution without seeing what you have.

ya I did enlarge it but it really pushes everything else further but anyway maybe I try a better packing. thanks.
