Praying Mantises Given World's Tiniest 3-D Glasses


... British neuroscientists recently outfitted praying mantises with a little pair of 3-D glasses. They wanted to see if the insects can be tricked by 3-D images — like humans watching a blockbuster in 3D. ... Praying mantises have stereoscopic vision, unlike most invertebrates.To conduct the vision testing, the scientists attach what the university says are the world’s tiniest pair of 3-D glasses to an insect using beeswax. Then the mantis is placed in front of computer monitor that displays images in 3D. ... Afterward, the glasses are taken off and the mantis goes back to a room where it gets fed.

Too funny. I wonder what movie he's watching.
