A Pair of Mangled Praying Mantises

Here is a first (blue) and second (white) attempt at the praying mantis from Origami Zoo. The pattern on the whole isn't very difficult, almost until the end. Then it calls for a double rabbit ear on each of the four legs. That last fold didn't quite happen. Not on any of the legs. Not once in eight tries. The result is a bit more mangled than I intended. Eventually I will try again with a larger sheet and see if that helps. In the meantime I am not too disheartened to share the results.
