Effects of the mantis instar on lizard responses. a Mean response rate and standard error (SE) of catch and escape in lizards as a function of the mantis instar. Data were from 19 presentations to each of 9 lizards (n = 171). b Mean response rate and SE of orienting, approach and tongue-flick. c The number of catches accompanied with tongue-flick (n = 34) and without it (n = 52). d The number of escapes accompanied with tongue-flick (n = 3) and without it (n = 21)
