they have the best eyesight of any living creature. Also, they are the fastest animal ( striking speed that is ). The speed of a mantis's strike has been equated to the speed of a 22 caliber bullet.
My peacock mantis was pretty smart. He died about 4 mos ago. Don't know why, maybe old age. He was about 8 inches long, 2 inches wide. I had him for about 2 years, and Roger from Roger's aquatics had him for a couple of years before me.
