The present study investigates the peering-jump behaviour of Mantis religiosa larvae with regard to jump targets differing in shape and size. The experimental animals were presented with square, triangular and round target objects with visual extensions of 20 and 40deg. The cardboard objects, presented against a uniform white background, were solid black or shaded with a gradation from white to black. It was found that larger objects were preferred to smaller ones as jump targets, and that the square and triangle were preferred to the round disk. When two objects were presented, no preference was exhibited between square and triangular objects. However, when three objects were presented, the square was preferred. For targets with a visual angle of 40deg, the amplitude and velocity of the horizontal peering movements were greater for the round disk than for the square or triangle. This amplification of the peering movements suggests that weaker motion signals are generated in the case of curved edges. This may help to account for the preference for the square and triangle as jump targets.10aBehaviour10aimage motion10aMantis religiosa10arange determination10ashape determination10avisual target1 aHyden, Karin1 aKral, Karl  uhttps://mantodea.myspecies.info/role-edges-selection-jump-target-mantis-religiosa01249nas a2200193   4500008004100000245014400041210006900185300001200254490000900266520048400275653004300759653001100802653001200813653003700825100002200862700001600884700001800900856013700918       2005                        eng d00aTypes of Mantodea (Insecta: Mantodea) in the collection of Central Entomological Laboratory of Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata, India. 0 aTypes of Mantodea Insecta Mantodea in the collection of Central   a143-1490 v104 3 a<p align="justify">
