Modular origami butterfly, medium complexity, very beautiful work

One of the old legends of Japan says that butterflieshelp people fulfill their desires. You just need to whisper your desire to the butterfly, and on its fragile wings it will definitely deliver the desire to the very heavens. Do you like origami butterflies, skillfully folded from paper? You can create your own whimsical butterfly or moth with the step-by-step instructions in my article. According to my calculations, it took 158 modules to create the butterfly, plus 2 orange modules for the antennae (we twist one end of each module). Of these, 74 are green, 36 orange + 2 for antennae, 18 yellow, 30 red and 60 blue modules. Perhaps I miscalculated, so this may not be an exact number, but an approximate one. Let's start assembling the body. Let's take 4 red and 3 yellow modules. On the sides in the first row there are yellow modules, in the middle there are 2 red ones. The second row has 2 red modules on the sides and 1 yellow one in the middle.butterfly origami.

Picture №3In the fifth row, all 4 modules are yellow.In the sixth row, all the modules are yellow (there are 3 of them). In the seventh row there are red ones on the sides, 2 yellow ones in the middle. In the eighth there is 1 yellow module in the middle, red on the sides. Then three rows of red modules. Then we take 2 red modules (they should be larger than the others) and insert two ends of the modules from the previous row into each pocket. Next in the middle is 1 yellow module, put 2 yellow modules on it (they should be darker, but in principle you can make them the same as the previous module). Then, as shown in the photo, we install the modules for attaching the wings. We add 3 more red modules on top. The body is ready.butterfly origami. Photo №4Assembling the lower wing. We take 3 green modules and fasten them together, in the first row — 1 module, the second has 2 modules.butterfly origami. Photo №5Third row: in the middle there is a dark yellow module (we will call it orange), along the edges there are green ones. In the fourth row there are 2 blue modules in the middle and green modules at the edges.butterfly origami. Photo №6In the fifth there are 3 orange in the middle, green on the edgesmodules. In the sixth row there are 4 blue modules in the middle, with green modules at the edges. Next we narrow the wing. In the seventh row there are 3 orange in the middle, green on the edges. In the eighth there are 2 blue modules in the middle and green ones at the edges. In the ninth there is 1 orange in the middle, green on the edges. In the tenth there are 2 green modules. In the eleventh row there is 1 green module. The wing is ready.butterfly origami. Photo №7Let's put together another one of the same kind. If the wings turn out to be slightly different in size, that's okay.butterfly origami. Photo №8Upper wing. First row - 1 blue module.The second row is 2. In the third row there is 1 green in the middle, blue modules at the edges. Then in the middle there are 2 green ones, along the edges there are blue ones. Then in the middle we put 1 green, 1 orange and again one green, again blue at the edges. Then in the middle 1 green, 2 orange, 1 green, blue at the edges. Further in the middle there are 1 green, 3 orange, 1 green and blue modules at the edges.butterfly origami. Photo Number 9We assemble another similar wing.butterfly origami.
