May I recommend an additional rule?
If your photo has already been posted on the forum, or on the internet BEFORE you post it on this thread, then that entry will be banned There are already some superb insect models folded by members of this forum, and this thread could rapidly become a dustbin for huge amounts of photos otherwise.
Anyway, I am without my laptop for a couple of weeks, while it is at the doctors. As a result, I can't use my regular website, nor can I edit my photos or link properly to my camera. So here goes nothing...
1) Origami wasp. Folded from 6" foil-tissue sandwich, one square, no cuts. Designed and folded by me.
Edit: Ugh - photo has come out huge. Overall model is roughly 2" long.
Edit2: Changed from nasty geocities pictures to smaller fishgoth.com pictures - my laptop is fixed

I once set up an origami PLC. But the business folded.
2) Harlequin beetle. Folded from 6" foil-tissue paper. One square, no cuts. Designed and folded by me.
I'll stick decent photos (and maybe crease patterns) on my website when I finally get around to updating it.
Edit : Again, pictures changed to faster loading fishgoth.com pictures.

Posting on another site first (I used my website minutes before showing it here) is the only way I know of displaying the model here - any suggestions?
Can I download graphics straight to the forum?
ANT = One square sheet - no cuts, no glue

I've done some revision to my simple Madagascar Hissing Cockroach model's thorax and antenna. I think it makes the model much cleaner and easier to fold:
The carrot model is from Origami Club.

May I present
Roboticus Insetamungus
designed and folded by "Doc" May 6, 2007 from uncut rectangles and no glue
See this creature crawl here:
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yWXi4XQjkFo" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed>
I had planned to add an outer shell - but I still have to work out a few "bugs" (pun intended).
Besides, I think it is nice to see how the inner mechanism works !
What do you think?
