When a young beg mantis leaps into the air , it can strain its target in literally a blink of an eye ( less than a one-tenth of a second ) . hurrying aside , the grease monkey of a pray mantid jump is what draw it special : three different body voice rotate in different directions and different combining in an incredibly skilled acrobatic act .
The Conversation explicate :
Once in the strain the mantises precisely rotate three body part – the front legs , the hind legs , and the belly – in different directions and in different combination , all the time exchanging momentum between them and keeping the spin of the whole soundbox at the right pace to successfully get through and land on the target .

you could see them distort and turn in the video below . It ’s surprisingly graceful , even when they mistime their parachuting .
