Another popular stag beetle. Recently it occured to me that many insect designs have leg lengths that are too short. I think these are still too short, compared to the real thing, but they're pretty close. The CP is a circle-river packing of irregular lengths. For this model, I paid more attention to the allocation of different parts of the square: the antennae, which should be thinnest, are formed from the corners of the paper, the legs, which should be a little thicker, are formed from the edges, and the jaws, which can be heavy-duty, are formed from the middle of the paper. A few simple grafts add some detail.
