CAPA-peptides of praying mantids (Mantodea)
Peptides, 2010Dictyoptera which consist of cockroaches, termites, and praying mantids are among the oldest pterygote insects known. Whereas the localization and sequences of neuropeptides from a number of cockroaches are very well known, nearly nothing is known about the neuropeptides typical of praying mantids.

The charismatic praying mantid: A gateway for insect conservation
Praying mantids (Mantodea) are not only apex predators with a ‘mystical’ status, but are also regarded as a kind of oracle and, in some cultures, as omens associated with good or bad.

The primary structure of mantid opsin
Gene, 1994The sequence encoding opsin from the mantid Sphodromantis sp. has been determined by dideoxynucleotide sequencing of PCR products from a cDNA derived from eye cup tissue. The 376-amino-acid (aa) residues show approx. 56% identity and 85% similarity to known insect opsins (Drosophila melanogaster and Calliphora erythrocephala).

Saccadic head movements in mantids
Journal of Comparative Physiology ? A, 19771. Mantids visually orient to prey objects by means of rapid saccadic head movements which serve to image the target on the anterior regions of the large compound eyes. Small stationary flashes of light subtending 30′ of arc were used to elicit head movements. The topography of the saccade was studied by photographic and optoelectronic analysis.
