Black Widow Spider
Yes, I know. This is technically a spider rather than an insect, but I'd rather display it here, rather than the dinosaurs section or the sea-life section. I suppose I could name the whole galery 'athropods', but that would be a bit over-the-top. Anyway, back to the folding. The model is folded from an octagon (four corners are not used), with a lot of box-pleating in the centre. The mandibles come from two box-pleated flaps, and the abdomen from another off-centre flap.
