Fairly certain there is a Longhorn beetle in Origami Insects II.

Umm... This thread is about about models from Origami Insects and their Kin, not Origami Insects 2.

I don't mean to be rude, but if you even read the first line you would have figured that out.

Are you talking to me? I certainly hope not. I'm trying to redirect you to someplace where you can find an actual answer to his question, rather than another helping of snark and condescension, which seem to be the only things you're capable of giving.

If it says "Robert Lang" and "insects", someone with minimal English skills might just assume it's for his second book...and a quick look shows that indeed, there IS a Longhorn Beetle in Origami Insects 2...well, three cheers for deductive reasoning. Sometimes a little bit of effort is easier than the brush off :)

:shock: .... :oops:
Omg... Oops... I totally thought you were the other dude and I thought he (meaning you, FrumiousBandersnatch) was being rude and insisting that he was correct, rather than giving advice, which you were, and now I feel really bad about that last post..... And I was kind of rude earlier... lol. I hope I didn't scare him/her off.

And I like your screen name. And have you ever folded one?
If there aren't any out there, I might just take it on as a challenge and design one :D (which would be my second model, my first being a rose with the kawasaki twist).

Hello All,

I just wondered if anyone could help me with step 36-37 of the Cicada. I am fairly sure I have completed the previous steps successfully. For some reason, I am really stuck on this part and cannot seem to fold it in a way that works. The only other step I think that may be stopping me from successfully completing this step may be step 35. I say this because, my problem with step 36 seems to lie with an extra tip that seems to be in the way from folding and squashing to the end result of step 36. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Thanks in advance!!!!

Erm... that might be because there is actually a tip that is meant to be there. It's darkened in step 36 and you can clearly see it in step 37. You just fold through everything, including that tip, from step 35.
