[ESP-ENG] Insecto elaborado con material reciclable | Insect made from recyclable material.

My friends of Hive I hope you are well, today I share with you a creativity of an insect that I made with recyclable material, I wanted to make it because I was walking through the garden at my aunt's house and I saw this little animal on top of a leaf, I started to detail it and I had the idea to make it, I did not even know what it was called for this reason I started to investigate how it was called and I learned that it was a Mantis. This animal attracts a lot of attention because of the way it stands with its legs raised upwards.
Here is how I made it.

Materiales:

• (1) cepillo de dientes.
• Marcador.
• Tijera.
• Pincel.
• (6) varillas de aluminio.
• Alicate.
• Un pedacito de plástico sacado de una botella.
• Silicon.
• Pintura verde.
• (2) trocitos de madera.
• Cuchillo.

Materials:

• (1) toothbrush.
• marker.
• Scissors.
• Paintbrush.
• (6) aluminum rods.
• Pliers.
• A small piece of plastic taken out of a bottle.
• Silicon.
• Green paint.
• (2) small pieces of wood.
• Knife.

Paso 1:

• Comienzo marcando con el marcador las varillas de aluminio de 14 cm, dos marcas de 2 cm y en la otra punta de 1 cm, para hacerle el dobles con el alicate. y lo pego con el silicon las dos primeras patas delanteras a la altura de 8 cm desde arriba hacia abajo del cepillo.

Step 1:

• I start by marking with the marker the aluminum rods of 14 cm, two marks of 2 cm and at the other end of 1 cm, to make the double with the pliers. and I glue it with the silicon the first two front legs at the height of 8 cm from top to bottom of the planer.

Paso 2:

• Ahora procedo con las dos patas trasera con la misma medida de la anterior pero en vez de ser 3 dobles se le hacen 2, se le echa silicon encima del cepillo y se pegan las otras 2 patas traseras.

Step 2:

• Now I proceed with the two rear legs with the same measurement as the previous one but instead of being 3 doubles they are made 2, silicone is poured on top of the brush and the other 2 rear legs are glued.

Paso 3:

• ahora con el pedacito de plástico que saque de una botella , con una medida de 12 cm de largo y 5 cm de ancho, marco y recorto las alas, para luego colorearlo de verde.

• Después con el cuchillo le doy forma a la cabeza en forma de (V) con los dos trocitos de madera, luego los pego con el silicon.

Step 3:

• now with the little piece of plastic that I took out of a bottle, with a measure of 12 cm long and 5 cm wide, I mark and cut out the wings, then color it green.

• Then with the knife I shape the head in a V-shape with the two little pieces of wood, then I glue them with the silicon.

Paso 4:

• En este paso con las otras 2 varillas que faltaban formo las patas delantera, las que quedan levantadas hacia arriba marcando 5 cm luego 3 cm para hacerle el dobles donde están las marcas.

• Las pego en la parte superior del cepillo y comienzo a colorearlo.

Step 4:

• In this step with the other 2 rods that were missing I form the front legs, the ones that are raised upwards marking 5 cm then 3 cm to make the doubles where the marks are.

• I glue them to the top of the brush and start coloring it.

Paso 5:

• Para terminar le pego las alas en la parte trasera del cepillo, luego con el marcador le dibujo los ojos.

Step 5:

• To finish I glue the wings on the back of the brush, then with the marker I draw the eyes.

Aquí les dejo el resultado final de la Mantis.
