The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks what the praying mantis is a good example of. We need to identify the correct biological concept that applies to the praying mantis. 2. **Identifying Key Concepts**: The video mentions three key concepts related to the praying mantis: - Camouflage - Müllerian mimicry - Warning coloration 3. **Explaining Camouflage**: - Camouflage is a defense mechanism where an organism changes its color or shape to blend in with its surroundings. This makes it difficult for predators to spot them. - The praying mantis is known for its ability to change color (from dark brown to green) to match its environment, which helps it avoid predators. 4. **Explaining Müllerian Mimicry**: - Müllerian mimicry involves two or more unpalatable species that mimic each other to warn predators. This concept does not directly apply to the praying mantis. 5. **Explaining Warning Coloration**: - Warning coloration refers to bright and distinct colors that signal to predators that an organism is toxic or unpalatable. This is exemplified by organisms like the monarch butterfly, but it does not apply to the praying mantis. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the explanations, the praying mantis is primarily an example of camouflage, as it uses this adaptation to protect itself from predators by blending in with its environment. ### Final Answer: The praying mantis is a good example of camouflage. ---
