So this is it. I'm not dead, just a bit busy.
I could use better proportions I guess. I'd folded the base for this quite a while ago but I was inspired to continue folding it after chatting with a new friend I made =)
If it looks like a Carabid Beetle, in moves like a Carabid Beetle and runs like a Carabid Beetle than it must be.........a cockroach.
A very positive way to start the day in finding one of these.

This roach was sitting on top of my porch light during National Moth Week 2016 and I was able to take a photo from underneath. Really love being able to see their heads.

4th Instar Female Oriental Cockroach (Blatta orientalis) also known as the waterbug or black beetle, is a large species of cockroach, adult males being 18–29 mm (0.71–1.14 in) and adult females being 20–27 mm (0.79–1.06 in).[1] It is dark brown or black in color and has a glossy body. The female has a somewhat different appearance from the male, appearing to be wingless at casual glance, but is brachypterous, having non-functional wings just below her head. She has a wider body than the male. The male has long wings, which cover two-thirds of the abdomen and are brown in color, and has a narrower body. Both sexes are flightless. The female oriental cockroach looks somewhat similar to the Florida woods cockroach, and may be mistaken for it. Originally endemic to the Crimean Peninsula and the region around the Black Sea and Caspian Sea,its distribution is now cosmopolitan. Photo by Nick Dobbs, Malta 19-08-19
Nice day that day and I went to play golf with my relative. I saw this cockroach laying egg by the golf entrance building. Glad I always brought my pocket cam with me when I went to do sports.
Cockroaches (or simply "roaches") are insects of the order Blattaria. The name derives from the Greek and Latin names for the insect (Doric Greek: βλάττα, blátta; Ionic and Attic Greek: βλάττη, bláttē; Latin: Blatta).
There are about 4,000 species of cockroach, of which 30 species are associated with human habitations and about four species are well known as pests.
Among the best-known pest species are the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana, which is about 30 millimetres (1.2 in) long, the German cockroach, Blattella germanica, about 15 millimetres (0.59 in) long, the Asian cockroach, Blattella asahinai, also about 15 millimetres (0.59 in) in length, and the Oriental cockroach, Blatta orientalis, about 25 millimetres (0.98 in). Tropical cockroaches are often much bigger, and extinct cockroach relatives such as the Carboniferous Archimylacris and the Permian Apthoroblattina were several times as large as these.

Getting back into the groove with some simpler insect models... made from a 20cm piece of double tissue. Not my best fold but I haven't posted any origami in months so I figured I'd post it anyways.

The cockroach was my first attempt to fold an insect. My objective was first to get the six legs and the feelers and then collapse the paper to give the body and the head. Admittedly, this is not an economic use of paper, but the result justifies the means.
