not to get off topic but the three primary colours are red blue and yellow not green..

the eye of this animal is fascinating...i was just at Aquatic Kingdom in Mississauga and they had 2 5" peacock mantis' and i stood there and watched them for about an hour, very interesting and inquisitive animal...i would have to say they can certainly see out of the tank...cause both of these two where intently watching the tanks beside them full of cleaner shrimp and sally light foots and snails...it almost looked as though they were licking their chops..LOL
