Flying Stag Beetle
Originally Designed: 2002

This is an update of one of my oldest designs which was inspired by the crease pattern of Peter Engel's butterfly in "Folding the Universe".
The revisions since the original design mainly consist of cleaning up the appearance of the elytra/wing assembly and adding a pleat to form slightly larger mandibles.
