Explanation:

any of an order or suborder (Mantodea and especially family Mantidae) of large usually green insects that feed on other insects and clasp their prey in forelimbs held up as if in prayer.

The praying mantis (Mantis religiosa) and other insects in the order Mantodea get their name from the Greek mantis, literally “one who divines, a seer, prophet,” which in turn is from mainesthai, “be inspired.”
