Was interesting to see you are homeschooled. I live in an area (UK) where there is a lot of homeschooling going on, also a lot of alternative schooling. I've worked in a (Rudolf) Steiner / Waldorf school and I have friends who homeschool. Always very bright young people with innovative ideas 😀

Please do let us read those results, would be yet another great contribution of yours to this forum.

You caught me snoozing after supper LoL. Fat and old today. 😂

Yeah I looked at it this afternoon and I was impressed how well written it is. 

The experiment was thoughtfully planned and you stated results plainly.

You observed limitations due to sample size, and acknowledged other factors that could skew your results. 

I think it was great, and demonstrated great ability and maturity in how it was executed.

Its obvious why you were successful. 

✊😍

Thank you! I certainly had fun doing it, and it taught me a lot about avoiding small mistakes in an experiment that could change the outcome.

I am quite impressed. Very well written and thought out. When you learn more statistics in school you will also be able to find out whether the results are statistically significant, but I think you did a good job of coming to a conclusion without that. A+

@MantisGirl13, Ive read parts of your paper so far. As a non - nerd, I cant comment on it from an academic point of view but I just loved it!

I think its a fantastic piece of research and whilst I love googling all sorts of info on mantids (although I havent made an effort to venture into academic papers), i havent found any information so far on specific examples of mantis intelligence. For me as a hobbyist, your paper is a little treasure and I believe many people on mantis forum ( apart from this one, ie Facebook groups of which there is a few) would love to read it.

Would you be interested in making it a little bit more public? Not everyone, who would like to read it, would necessarily want to sign up here for a membership to get access. (Its taken upto 3 weeks before my application got accepted 😊)

Its a fab reading and I will gradually get thru it all. Thanks again for sharing 😊  

 
@MantisGirl13 im not sure if the Mantidforum posts are easily available to non members? Before i became a member,  i struggled getting access to threads. It might be something to do with the fact I was doing so from an Android phone, not sure. 

I just thought if ie there was a link to the paper from a Facebook group, would people be able to access it? 

 
@5eyesUK

No, I don't think posts are available to non-members because I couldn't access them from a laptop or a kindle before I was a member. It would be great if a link to the the paper could be put on a FB group, but I don't have access to social media, so I can't do that. 

Would you be able to put a link to it on the FB group for me?

Most ISPs give their users some space in which you can keep docs and photos etc. You can upload it there. Or, you can create  a free dropbox, or use Google Drive.

 
Hi @MantisGirl13 

Im an extemely low tech person 😀 but I will look into what I can do.  I dont know whether @hysteresis could create some kind of online space for your pdf and I could post the links to it on the Facebook groups that I am in. They r mostly UK and European, some American too. 

I think it would be nice if there was an option for comments for you to get a feedback too, if you wish that?

Ok. Thanks!

That would be neat, but because I am unable to see the feedback it doesn't make much sense.
