In the video, a person is holding a small green praying mantis in their hand. The mantis is standing on its hind legs, with its front legs folded in front of its body. The person's hand is gently supporting the mantis from underneath, allowing it to stand freely. The mantis appears to be calm and still, with its head turned slightly to the side. The background is a plain white surface, which contrasts with the green color of the mantis, making it stand out. The video does not contain any other objects or actions.
