This one can, however:
In order to see in 3-D, eyes need to be positioned forward so that together they can take in nearly 180 degrees:

I just can’t.....
The smallest insect alive, after for billing years of evolution, is more wonderful than anything created by man. There is a lot that we can learn from their biological systems.
Did the mantis say “these glasses don’t go with anything?”
The study also revealed the ones with glasses were picked on and called names like bug eyes by the mantises without glasses.
I’m not sure this makes sense.
All sight is 3-D.
As written it is essentially saying praying mantises hunt by sight.
Was there an argument that they used smell or other senses to hunt?
I think they aren’t so much studying the Mantis eyesight as they are trying to see how the mantis brain processes projected 3d images from a computer.
Mantises with glasses never get passes.
Thousands of years. I don’t buy into “we all came from scum” evolution.
Do they still chew the heads off their mates?
They called him “forty-thousand eyes.”
If you gaze at a distant object, each eye sees pretty much the same image. If you look at an object within reach, then each eye sees the object from a different perspective.
Your brain is able to detect these differences and has learned how to judge the distance to a near object.
The mantis study claims to have demonstrated that the insect will basically ignore an object which might otherwise be considered food if the object seems to be at a great distance. However, if the mantis detects that the object is within reach, then it will attempt to catch it.
Someone posited that they might be alien visitors, they are so different from other bugs.
Only ISIS mantises do that.
Always good to see them in a vegetable garden.
Clever. Probably don’t get eaten too.
Please tell me no tax dollars were harmed in the making of this study.
I do not think that evolution and God are incompatible. God is infinite and why wouldn’t he make a universe that, by its very design, leads inevitably to the creation of life everywhere that inevitably evolves to higher forms of life with intelligence, beauty, the capacity to love, and having a soul?
When God said “Let there be light” why cannot that be said to be the Big Bang?
Genesis 1:3
1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4And God saw the light, that [it was] good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

You seem to forget these animals you use as examples can move their head.
