Description
yayyyy!!!! here is a prehistoric critter again! this is a small, only up to 2 cm long arachnid from the carboniferous, possibly related to harvestmen or mites.40 by 40 cm square of unryu on foil, 13 cm long
i decided to fold it because of the interesting segmentation of the abdomen.

So cool, dude, I LOVE this one. Everything looks just about PERFECT, like its a real bug. Never stop folding man (please?), because you have the gift, the gift of freaking AWESOMENESS, of bringing the prehistoric to life! Did I mention I am a huge, yet reluctant fan of arthropods, arachnids, crustaceans, and other such invertebrates? They are incredible creatures, some of the strongest, most agile, most physically gifted creatures proportionally speaking, on the planet Earth, which I think is reason enough to want them around! Peace, and good luck in all your endeavors, it was great talking to you, I will be your fan for life, if you so choose.... Peace, again. See you.

thank you again! and don't worry! paperfolding is too big passion for me to stop it, and so is wildlife! recent or prehistoric, arthropods of all sorts... they are peculiar creatures indeed! and invertebrates in general! did you know that an octopus has three single-chambered hearts? a pair to pump blood into a pair of gills and one in the middle to pump the blood into the body... 
invertebrates are fascinating, maybe because we all see little aliens in them, because they all look so strange and foreign!

Indeed those invertebrates do appear to be 'aliens'. Have you heard of a book called Salsa Invertebraxa? It has human-designed BUGS in it, and they look AMAZING. Perhaps it might inspire you if you look at some screenshots. Just type in Salsa Invertebraxa into Google search and it'll come up under Pecksniff Publishing, I think. The screenshots are copyrighted, otherwise, my friend, I would be all over it in terms of sending the books pictures to you. It should be incredible when it comes out in... I want to say August, but I'm not sure.... Anyway, got to love concept bugs, eh? Octopi sound like a prime interest of yours, seeing as you know more than a thing or two about them, am I right, or am I wrong? Can I ask what your avatar kanji/character says, or is it a private self-message? If it is, don't worry about offending me, I may have an extreme sensitivity to rejection, but you can say no, I'm an adult now, it won't metaphorically kill my soul like it used to when I was younger. May I ask, again, you are more than welcome to decline in terms of answering if you don't feel up to sharing, but, do you possibly have a condition like I do, you know, like, say, Asperger's syndrome? Because you seem to know a lot, and you, seems to me, have a very intense focus on invertebrates. I'm just drawing parallels between us, I'm not trying to say I would wish Asperger's upon you, HECK NO, I would never do that, except maybe to a serial rapist, mass murderer, or similar scum, neither of which I suspect you of being, by the by! But yeah, I think it is a human thing to do, finding similarities and paralleling with someone in that way, it brings people together, I think. Okay, man, I've occupied enough of your time. Peace.

oh no, i have only seen a documentary about ocropi and it as so interesting/amazing that i remembered a few things
i think my focus are arthropods really
i don't have Asperger's syndrome, but i'm a calm and quiet person so i get my ass run over by those who are more enterprising than me, and i'd say a bit too often...
and don't worry, a kind quuestion is no reason to insult the one who asked, that is not what a good boy does, right?
i've only got lost because you've asked so many things at a time!
it's quite late now, i think i'll leave the PC and go to bed. i'll reread your message in the morning again, where my brain is brighter
good night!
P.S. Thanks for recommending me the book! i will definitely look it up tomorrow!

good morning!
my icon is a Japanese pictogram for "paper folding" ("oru" - "fold"; "kami" - "paper" - so it is "oru kami" => "origami")

Cool, man. So, have you checked out Salsa Invertebraxa yet? Peace.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah! i did! but i don't know if i'll buy it yet...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, dude, I will literally buy it for you if I have to, and ship it to you somehow, because I believe you could crank out some MONSTER origami bugs with that as your inspiration! They would be...epic. You could rent it when it comes out, if not for that reason, than for the story, which sounds quite interesting to me. I always liked fiction. Okay, I'll see you later, dude. Peace.
