Impact of Consuming ‘Toxic’ Monarch Caterpillars on Adult Chinese Mantid Mass Gain and Fecundity
Insects, 2017 Predators that feed on chemically-defended prey often experience non-lethal effects that result in learned avoidance of the prey species. Some predators are able to consume toxic prey without ill-effect.

Testing the response of model and mantids to ghost matches.
, 2022 Top row shows four different stimulus geometries: (A) a single object 2.5cm distant from the mantis, simulated by disparate objects on a screen 10cm distant, with screen parallax 2.1cm; (B) two objects 10cm distant, 2.1cm apart; (C) as A but with an ...
