PURPOSE
Mantis shrimp is a collective term for all of the species within the order of stomatopoda.
The order has developed some extreme adaptations, including their spectacular eyes.
Stomatopoda eyes have been the subject of extensive scientific research. There are many
features that distinguish mantis shrimp vision from other animal vision such as extra color
receptors and structure that allows for visualizing polarized light. This poster was created to
excite and inform viewers about this spectacular order of species.
