So they wanted to test the 3D vision of a praying mantis. What better way? Put a tiny pair of 3D glasses on a praying mantis, then show it videos of it's tasty pray.
"The scientists attached a mantis-sized pair of dual-color 3D glasses to the insects’ eyes, using beeswax as temporary adhesive. The team then showed video of potential prey, which the mantises lunged at."
Yes, that is an image of a praying mantis with the tiny blue and red 3D glasses we've all worn. That has to be one of the funniest images I've seen. I bet the biologists that came up with this idea were rolling on the ground when they first discussed it.
Researchers discovered a new kind of stereo vision by putting tiny 3D glasses on mantises
What if they showed it The Deadly Mantis (1957) - IMDb, and the mantis is killed at the end. Now it can find us anywhere we hide.
