Here is a better version of the mating mantids.

It's Spring in Illinois and they are back!

Here they are:


Created and folded by DOC from one uncut square of foil backed wrapping paper(5/20/07)

I don't have any talents to design an insect so I like to join this topic with my folding Cp or diagram, so I just join for fun and learning skills!

Dear frends:

This tarantula is design by Mr. Robert Lang. I folded in 25 x 25 cm sandwich paper E-Type, with blanck tissue and modify the original diagrams in order to make a color change in tips of feet. Also, I did two crimp folds at the back of the abdomen in order to make the spinneretes. This change convert the Lang's tarantula into Avicularia avicularia ( Pincktoe tarantula).
