remember the flaps from the earlier steps?...
cut six legs from these.. three on either side.
see the second image on how to crease them so they become stiff..
for the Pincers on the head(see image 2):
cut tapering strips around the head part.. and fold forward.. for pincers.. if you do another set of thinner ones, you can do antennae as well.
