If you know a fun fact about the mantis shrimp COMMENT below 👇😜 Here’s a fun fact I cannot get over: A mantis shrimp has up to 16 color receptors… while we only have three.🫣 So this painting is my little tribute to this absolute icon — a creature that punches with the force of a bullet, sees a world we can’t even imagine, and is delightfully batty beneath the waves.👩‍🎨🥊🌊 • • • #mantisshrimp #oceaninspiration #underwaterart | Camilla d'Errico - Pop Surrealist Painter

A little self-care goes a long way! The beautiful-yet-deadly peacock mantis shrimp has incredibly complex eyes, able to see in both infrared and ultraviolet spectra. With 16 color-detecting receptors compared to the three that humans have, it can see many more colors than we can. This mantis shrimp at Shedd was seen cleaning those incredible peepers! | Shedd Aquarium
