Does anyone know how to get the correctly sized piece of paper from a US Legal sized piece of paper (copy paper in the USA)?

The exact size isn't that important for this model since you can always fold the end in a way to compensate for the length. You should only make sure that it is about 1:5.75 in size i.e. 5 Squares and about 3/4th of a 6th Square.

You can always make a much longer caterpillar as well :wink:
