In the video, a person is seen holding a green praying mantis in their hand. The mantis is standing on its back legs and appears to be calm. The person's hand is gently holding the mantis, allowing it to move its front legs freely. The mantis's body is elongated, with a triangular head and large, compound eyes. Its front legs are bent at the elbow, and its back legs are straight. The mantis's body is covered in small, spiky hairs. The background is a plain white surface, which contrasts with the vibrant green color of the mantis.
