I just watched a segment of this week's National Geographic Explorer entitled Clone! called "Animal Minds". This segment featured none other than our own Gonodactylus and several beautiful stomatopods (including O. scyllarus, G. chiagra, and G. smithii (I think).
I'm already looking into ordering the video -- but anyway, it was a great segment featuring the survival strategies after molting of a very clever stomatopod (G. smithii -- I think?). The strategies included bluffing and using the molted skin as a decoy and escape aid.
If you have a chance, check out the segment for the beautiful video of these fascinating animals. I just wish that I'd had a VCR handy.
