[QUOTE="gare58, post: 323906, member: 11119"] Depending on how much time you have you could design an experiment around testing the intelligence of mantids. Do you hand feed yours at all? If you do then you can use food as a reward system and perhaps test if mantids can count. Apparently honeybees can count 0-4. [URL="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-05354-z"]https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-05354-z[/URL] Or even if mantids could learn to associate a certain stimulus to food. Probably something visual like a flash card with a shape on it. The point would be to see if the mantis crawls to/chooses the shape that has a food reward if it goes near it. [/QUOTE]
