    Compound eyes

    Does a mantis see a single image, or multiple images with their compound eyes? Do all mantids see the same, or does it differ depending on the species?

    Orchid Mantis does Tai Chi (video)

    I'm new to all this, but I've decided, if there's a "Vegas Showgirl" of the mantid world, the Orchid has got to be it! How beautiful!

    Cat food?

    It's a cooler day outside and Little Miss Mantis is still out there on my porch. I'm really not sure what she's caught on her own to eat, but when I can I've found her some bugs. I read somewhere that mantids can eat cat food. I just want to make sure she has something to eat.

    Greetings from Maryland

    Thanks for all the welcomes! I just fed my mantis another stink bug...but before she ate it, she had it grasped in her right "hand", but proceeded to apparently clean her left "hand" with her mouth before chowing down. She also appears to wash up after a meal. Sanitary mantis, cool beans!
