The serrations\/spines on the second and third sections of their abnormally long front legs interlock when they grab their prey, making escape impossible. Their eyes are situated so as to give them binocular vision; like hawks and owls they can see forward with both eyes and judge the distance to their prey. Also like the owl, they can rotate their heads significantly","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2007\/09\/praying-mantis-2.jpg"}
