In a study led by the U.K.’s University of Cambridge and University of Bristol, researchers have found, based on high-speed footage, that praying mantises leap with a precise coordination of body movements to accurately land on a targeted spot.
Praying mantises can jump and land on targets with extreme accuracy.
A team led by the University of Cambridge and the University of Bristol, both in the U.K., set out to determine how they stick their landings so well, especially when other small bodies tend to spin in the air and end up in a random place.
To study the ultra-fast movement that often takes less than a tenth of a second, they set up a high-speed camera to record 58 you
