Thanks for sharing!

The Paper magazine (the print magazine of OrigamiUSA), has an article on insect 
wings in its issue #129 (2019), titled “Unlocking the secrets of insect wings”, 
with references to the earwigs. 
We should all think twice before smashing these natural wonders. Our natural 
world is full of these incredible creatures. Better spend a couple hours 
marveling outside rather than in cellphones! 
Happy HolidaysLaura Rozenberg

been looking for an earwig that would fly in front of the camera! This one, a 
shore earwig, came to a blacklight I set up in south Florida back in October. 
The wing folding and unfolding is incredible! This is a clip from a new insect 
flight video I just posted to the Ant Lab channel. Go check out the full video 
with more earwig action! #earwig #dermaptera #bugsofinstagram

If you search for "star building unit" in you tube, you can find folding 
techniques and how to use unit to make  geometric shapes.
