Praying mantisby ~guspath

Artisan Crafts / Folding & Papercraft

Not anotomically accurate, but I think it looks pretty cool

From a big square of Japanese foil paper (60x60cm roughly). The front claws came from 2 corners of the square, hind most appendeges from the rest 2 corners, the middle appendages from the center of paper, making them the thickest. The head and mandible from one raw edge while the antennae from the center of paper. I am too lazy to draw the creasing pattern

Comments and suggestion to improve the overall look of the model are welcomed!

You may know a lot about praying mantis' but apparently you don't know much of grammar..

I've never seen an oragami praying mantis before. How original, how unique. How did you get the idea to do this one? I like how slender the legs are, and the front-view of the head - it looks so real! Femals spiders also usually eat the male after mating (that is, unless the male can get away fast enough
