The control of targeted jumps in nymphal praying mantises
Abstract Arboreal insects have developed various strategies to navigate their discontinuous habitats. Many insects, including leafhoppers, katydids, and praying mantises, exhibit the ability to actively leap across their leafy platforms and land on a distant substrate.G. S. Girish Kumar, Sanjay P.

Sexual dimorphism of auditory function and structure in praying mantises (Mantodea; Dictyoptera)
Journal of Zoology, 1990Sexual dimorphism of tympanate auditory systems in insects has bees described in only a few taxonomically isolated cases. However, widespread sexual dimorphism occurs in the ultrasound‐sensitive, midline ear of the praying mantis.In dimorphic species, it is always the female mantis that shows a reduction in ultrasonic hearing.

A new leaf sensing organ in a predatory insect group, the praying mantises
Abstract Animals’ sensory systems enable them to navigate and interact with their environments. Adaptive specializations of these systems can generate novel structures or organs that support highly unique niche adaptations. We report the discovery of a novel sensory organ in a group of praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea, Nanomantoidea),Sydney K. Brannoch +7 more
