Here is the front cover of Origami Insects and Their Kin by Robert Lang (this page shows most of the models from the book). Every model in this book is a challenge, so I would recommend it only for advanced paperfolders.

John Montroll's Bringing Origami to Life (ISBN 0-486-40714-4) focuses on the technique of wet-folding and applying this technique to various animal models with three-dimensional characteristics. Model difficulties range from easy to high intermediate.

Fumiaki Kawahta's Origami Fantasy also gets it's own page. This book features some of the most complex origami models I have ever folded, including a pegasus and an incredibly life-like stegosaurus!

Francis Ow's Origami Hearts (ISBN 0-87040-957-3) has lots of great heart-related models, such as heart sunglasses, heart picture frames, and heart modulars to name a few.

3-D Geometric Origami; Modular Polyhedra by Rona Gurkewitz and Bennett Arnstein (ISBN 0-486-28863-3) is full of polyhedra and various other three-dimensional modulars. Literally thousands of models can be created from this book, such as a dodecahedron flower ball, a stellated octahedron, and a dimpled dodecahedron ball.
