Monomad: Little Alien Eyes

When I asked, this "little alien" happily posed for my phone camera. She didn't want an honorarium, and she didn't care what I did with the photos. When I asked her to turn her face slightly, she was very obedient. The lens's focus is on her large, bulging eyes. On the front camera, the "little alien," who is actually a praying mantis, appears cute rather than creepy.

I'm submitting these macro images to the daily #monomad challenge hosted by Hive account@monochromes as well as Hive account@qurator's Photo Quest | Macro Photography of Eyes—if the host allows it 😁. Thank you so much.
