At last, my laptop is fixed. I have quite a few insectoid models folded in the last few days. This one is folded by dividing the square into thirds, creating nine smaller squares, with a potential twelve points on the outside of the paper, and four points in the middle. A selection of adding fish-base molecules to length or shorten these points is followed by frantic box pleating and a couple of Elias-stretches to get the proportions looking better.
Cyclommetus metallifer. Designed and folded by me, folded from an uncut square of foil-backed paper. Overall model is about 3 1/2" long.

I once set up an origami PLC. But the business folded.

Popup insects
Here is still another somewhat different approach to origami insects - Popups:
Each insect is folded from an uncut single square of foil backed paper. They are attached without adhesives by folding into the groove of the "popup display card" The display card is made from a single rectangular sheet of cardstock.
The card and the insect designs are mine - The insect designs were created over the last week.

Mating Mantids
The male, having passed well into oblivion, dismounts after completing his duty.
Somewhat based from this photo: http://dangerousintersection.org/wp-con ... mantis.jpg
Please excuse the bad picture, I plan to refold the model for my OUSA exhibit (Do they allow mating insects?). The female mantis is based on one by Jun Maekawa I believe. Its one piece of paper. The edges are folded under on each side making a 2x1 rectangle (I mentioned 3x1 earlier, but that was a different attempt), and allow for the Male's wings and the possibility of dismembered limbs in the Female's arms (not shown in this photo).
