Origami Bugs is an instructional book geared towards the advanced origami folder. Marc has devised blueprints for creating eleven distinct insect designs from a single sheet of paper. You can follow the path in folding these works of art yourself with the aid of over eight-hundred illustrations. There are also chapters to aid you with paper choice and preparation. Although this is admittedly one of the more advanced books available for origami, with patience, you can recreate such models as a ladybug (spots included), butterfly, and even a cankerworm (with twenty-eight legs).

Industry Reviews

Leonardo Rivera

The book contains many difficult and fun folds. Creating origami insects is an interesting and challenging proposition because you have to figure out just how to create six legs, two antenna, wings, and three body parts from one sheet of paper. The author, Mr. Marc Kirschenbaum, gives an excellent explanation of how he and other origami professionals/enthusiasts have resolved this problem.

I wouldn't suggest this book for beginners, the patterns may be frustrating and may be off-putting, but for the more experienced intermediate and advanced folders, this book will provide you with hours of enjoyment. You will amaze yourself when you paper magically metamorphoses into a bug, and be impressed by the ingenuity of the author's solutions to the difficulties in creating origami bugs.
