Model:Longhorn Beetle
Source:Origami Insects II
Designed by:Robert J. Lang
Folded by:Brian Carper
Paper used:50 cm. square of tissue foil

Remarks:If you like box pleating, this is the model for you. This is all box pleating. A good half the paper is devoted to the antennae of the beetle. The head never quite comes out right when I fold this. If I had thinner paper to use it might be a better result. This model universally creeps out everyone I've shown it to (including me, to some degree.)

I've seen this one being made and it still sort of freaked me out when I saw it lying on the floor. It's like a foot long and it looks real.
