The image is a black and white photograph of a praying mantis. The mantis is standing on its hind legs with its front legs stretched out in front of it. Its body is elongated and its antennae are long and thin. Its eyes are large and round, and its mouth is slightly open, as if it is about to take a bite out of something. The background is blurred, but it appears to be a circular object with a small hole in the center. The overall mood of the image is somber and contemplative.
