Shrimp
I have seen many excellent origami lobsters and crabs, namely by John Montroll and Robert Lang, but I have never come across a good shrimp model. Any sugestions?

hey chris, what are those many legged bugs called? and is there any sort of instruction available? the model looks really cool....and can you like curl up the model? or do you have to like "fold" it "curled" or "not curled"? i remember seeing somthing similar on komatsu's site....i think he called it a potato insect or caterpillar or somthing, and you can enlarge it and and wiggle it and shrink it...fun stuff, wish i knew how to make either of them

i used to love playing with those things as a kid...hehe and once i had a job as a janitor at a retail store, and one found its way into the women's department, so i picked it up, and let it crawl over me the whole day...and it stayed! amazing fun creatures

I think that those "many legged things" are Milipeads, adn not pillbugs. Because I have seen Mr. Lang's book (I have it) and His model is alot shorter.

In german we call this creature "Kellerassel". The LEO-Dictionary translates that as "slater", "woodlouse" or "scabby sow bug".

Anyway we call em milipeads in the U.S.
Very interesting, unfortunantly that whole site is in german, so I can not read any of it oh well......In german we call this creature "Kellerassel". The LEO-Dictionary translates that as "slater", "woodlouse" or "scabby sow bug".

To me that origami model could be a pill bug as well as a millipede...

those models are cool but i dont think they represent anything that lives. Woodlice (pillbugs) have 14 legs and are the only fully land-based crustacean. millipedes have anything up to 300ish legs and have four per segment. This models seems somewhere in between. i love it though... any legal diagrams at all?
