Kabutomushi

Designed and folded by me
one uncut square of Agua Paper ( 31x31 cm )
Boxpleat 32x32 grid
This is the first asymmetric beetle I designed. It has a really interesting structure.
I made a lot of testfolds ( 4 x folding the whole model ) before folding this one. The collapsing process is really interesting. I´m really happy that I was able to get ( almost ) all the details I wanted it to have, especially the eyes
I will publish the CP soon.

Acanthostega gunnari, one of the earliest known 4-legged animals, dating back to the late Devonian period. It's a transitional form between aquatic and terrestrial vertebrates.



It had a whopping 8 digits on each limb, which for the design meant using complex "level shifters" and a whole lot of repetition. Folded from 1 uncut square.

Zhenyuanlong suni, a feathered dinosaur known from only a single fossil discovered in China a few years ago.



I've always wanted to design a feathered dinosaur, but I wanted to come up with my own way of making the feathers, and I wanted them incorporated into the crease pattern instead of simply making a bunch of creases on part of the paper.
And since there is already a million Velociraptor designs, I of course went for a dinosaur that hasn't been done before in origami.

One uncut square, diagonal symmetry.

With considerable tongue in cheek, I present a model which demonstrates just how strong paper can be. I call it –
“The origami weightlifter”

Fairyfly, a very obscure type of wasp, recognized by their extremely small sizes, almost all being less than 1mm in size:
