Although in its infancy, eventually one of us will get organised enough to get a little more formal.

In the interim, Vivian Sandoval (a practicing Entomologist and origamist) suggested we might be able to provide some models for a forthcoming conference.

The Perkins Memorial Dinner was held by The Entomological Society of Queensland on the 8th of October 2019 – decorated by displays from us 🙂

Ethan Harrison, Vivian and myself dug around in our archived folds and found an astonishing array of arthropods suitable for display.

Ethan and Vivian share a love of paper folding, and it was genuinely delightful to be among like minds. We really must get together again.
