First we need to prepare a square piece of colored paper, then fold it up and down, left and right, then unfold it, pinch the crease and fold it into a quadrilateral, then open the four sides of the quadrilateral and press it into a rhombus. Then continue to fold the left and right sides of the lower edge of the rhombus to the center line, fold the upper corners downwards, and finally turn it over and fold the four sides of the rhombus to the center line.

After doing it, start to turn it over, fold the sharp corners inward and outward twice, then continue to fold in half, cut the bottom with scissors, and fold the two corners forward to form the two front legs of the mantis. , the other two corners are folded into hind legs. Finally, draw the eyes in the appropriate position, and the origami mantis is completed.

Attached are two mantis origami video tutorials:
