complete guess as I've never folded the model, but it looks like you fan those two longest points out, pushing in the side of the paper so it's basically a paper fan. I don't think copy paper is the best for this model, on your second attempt try something more moldable like tissue foil. Also, where is the CP?

Hi! It's been a long while since I've been active on here. I deleted my Dropbox years ago, so some things, like my Dragonfly Varileg guide, are lost to time. I may still have other things, though! Email me if you have any questions.

I took the two short thick middle points with lots of layers and spread those out for the wings.

Anatomically, it's the division between the thorax and abdomen.
Origamically, it's some extra paper on top
Wow! I didn't know there were crease patterns online for this! *goes and folds it*

The structure of this is verrrry similar to the whip spider, so once you get that one down, this would be a good one to try next.
