Introduction

Michael LaFosse folded his first original origami butterfly while riding a subway with Alice Gray more than 30 years ago. They had just left Lillian Oppenheimer’s Origami Center in Union Square, where Michael showed Alice his amazing origami praying mantis. Alice offered to show him around the Entomology Department at the American Museum of Natural History, so off they went. En route, Michael folded the first Butterfly for Alice. Encouraged, Michael began developing a system to produce a variety of interesting butterfly wing patterns.

Years later, we attended our first origami convention in New York, where Russell Cashdollar displayed sets of interesting origami butterflies. Inspired by Russell’s work, Michael has been developing stunning new origami butterflies ever since.
