CICADA

Designed by Michael G. LaFosse

Use a 6-inch (15 cm), square paper.

1 Fold in half corner to corner both ways.

2 Fold top and bottom corners to the middle of the paper where the creases cross.

3 Turn paper over. Fold bottom and top edges to meet at the middle, allowing the square corners to come out from behind. Look ahead at step 5 for the shape.

4 For the top half: Fold the free white edges to the top white edges.

5 For the bottom half: Fold the free white edges to the bottom white edges; make mountain folds in the top green layer, parallel to the vertical center, and slide the excess green paper under to form the shape shown in step 6.

6 Detail indicated.

7 Fold up the bottom corner and fold over again.

8 Fold corners in.

9 Your paper will look like this—this is the head of the cicada.

10 Mountain-fold each wing in half and bring together at the back end. Push in the center of the top of the body to form a diamond-shaped dent.

11 Mountain-fold the body and head in half and flatten. Open the model a little to get the final form.
