MUSEO DEL ORIGAMI VIDEOLIBRARY: "A WHIP-SPIDER NAMED ‘ORIGAMI'"
(In Spanish with English Subtitles) Andrés Sánchez, a Colombian biologist who lives in Buenos Aires and is a CONICET postdoctoral fellow, tells us how a species of arachnid has just received the name of Heterophrynus origamii. Although it looks like a spider, technically it is not; it belongs to a different order: the Amblypygi. The species was studied by a friend of Andrés who named it "origamii" in honor of Andrés' passion for folding paper, since it was Andrés who found it in Colombia and handed it over for scientific study. https://en.museodelorigami.org/videoteca-julio-2020 <https://en.museodelorigami.org/videoteca-julio-2020> Laura Rozenberg Museo del Origami Colonia del Sacramento Uruguay www.museodelorigami.org <http://www.museodelorigami.org/>
