| Flying mantids that hear ultrasound perform a bat evasion behavior that comprises a head roll, complete prothoracic leg extension, wing beat changes, and abdomen dorsiflexion. |
|
| An observed attraction of infected crickets and mantids towards water indicates that the parasites may induce this behavior, but the physiological stimulus is unknown. |

|

|
| Prey recognition time of praying mantids and consequent survivorship of unpalatable prey. |
|
| Sources of mortality not modeled, but witnessed by us, are predation by other wolf spiders and praying mantids. |
|
| To perform a definitive test, he and his colleagues assembled a set of specimens including 107 species of termites, roaches, and the closely related mantids. |
|
| Mantids can turn their heads 180 degrees to scan their surroundings with two large compound eyes and three other simple eyes. |
