Monomad: Donald Mantis

Just call him Donald. He is not Donald Duck, but Donald Mantis. An Asian praying mantis was found the other day. This guy’s modeling instinct came out when I pointed my camera at his face. It was so natural, even without being directed, he showed his best talent. Did he take a modeling course? I think he did it spontaneously. But there was something else about him. One of his antennas was missing. How it happened, only he knows exactly. But in my eyes, he was still so cool, and handsome!
