Internationally renowned origami master John Montroll presents more than 20 original models of familiar and lesser-known insects. Suitable for folders at all levels of experience, the figures include a butterfly, grasshopper, hornet, and ant as well as a praying mantis, earwig, long-horned and tiger beetles, weevil, cicada, and other bugs.

Complete instructions with diagrams include full-color illustrations of the finished models. The selection ranges from simple to advanced; most are complex but not overly difficult. Many of the figures feature distinctive details—legs, wings, antennae, and other characteristics—that make them especially fun and challenging.
