Origami Watermelon Worm Origami Method and Illustrated Tutorial

Origami Watermelon Worm Origami Method and Illustrated Tutorial

The origami insect making tutorial has allowed many students who like to make origami insects to make their own origami insects, but there are many other interesting arthropods that are also very interesting, such as the origami spider recommended before. Production tutorials fall into this category. In addition to origami spiders, there are some other arthropods worth trying to make using origami. The origami production recommended here is a tutorial for making origami watermelon worms. I believe everyone is very familiar with the watermelon bug. We can often see it in dark and humid places. This is why the watermelon bug is also called a "woodlouse".

This origami watermelon insect tutorial itself is also included in Robert Langs origami insect collection. We can see that the design of this origami watermelon insect is very unique. After all, from the appearance point of view, the origami watermelon insect has no particularly obvious characteristics. The whole body is like an upside-down melon rind. This configuration makes the origami design quite challenging, because He doesn't have as much detail to depict as other origami insects. However, during the specific design, Robert Lang still grasped the characteristics of arthropods, that is, the body is divided into segments, and the small tentacles are also a major feature of the watermelon insect.

Although making such origami watermelon bugs is very interesting, I believe many students are not aware of the unique position of watermelon bugs in our surrounding environment. The watermelon worm is a close relative of other crustaceans that we are familiar with, such as crabs and lobsters, but the more amazing thing is that other crustaceans live in the water, and the watermelon worm is the only crustacean that has successfully evolved to live on land, just because The watermelon bug has negative phototaxis, which also makes the distance between us and the beetles relatively long. Combined with the origami vase production in the simple origami vase real-shot tutorial of Origami Encyclopedia, we can actually turn this origami watermelon insect into a prop that makes people whole. How to use it depends on your creativity.
