shabby mantis video

some krill in a clear tube. She actually comes out even if i just put my hand near the water surface.

VERY aggressive. :D
 
You've just got to be faster than the mantis....think fast. : )


Really cool. I have read that mantis have 5x the color perception as human beings..i wonder why
 
Taken from this page:

Stomatopods have the most sophisticated visual system in the world. The stomatopod eye contains 16 different types of photoreceptors (12 for color analysis, compared to humanity's 3 cones). Mantis shrimps can thus see polarized light and 4 colors of UV (ultraviolet) light, and they may also be able to distinguish up to 100,000 colors (compared to the 10,000 seen by human beings).
