I suspect most animals with two eyes (vertebrate or not) have 3D vision. What makes the preying mantis’ vision notable is that its field of vision is 360 degrees.
Some observers believe that beards protect against the cold and frostbite. Others cite the Inuit people, the fact that they have little facial hair, as a reason why having a beard does not protect you from frostbite, substantiating this BION.

Why would shaving prevent frostbite?

Those cave men were tough. But how does anyone really know the hygiene habits of the cave man?

A man is praying in church.
He looks up to heaven and says “God, could you answer a question for me?”
“Of course, my son,” says God, “what would you like to know?”
“God, what is a million years to you?”
“Well,” says God, “a million years to me is as a second.”
“Hmm,” says the man. “I guess I understand. So what is a million dollars to you then?”
“My son,” God says, “a million dollars to me is as a penny.”
_"Hmm,"+ says the man. He goes back to praying, but after a little while he looks up again.
“God,” he asks, “can I have a penny?”
“Sure,” God says. “Just a second.”

As I recall, a few episodes of The Flintstones showed Fred and Barney shaving with clam shell razors.

How can you avoid frostbite by plucking out your beard with anything?

How does beardlessness prevent frostbite? If it does, why not pluck out the hair on your head too?

Stone age men removed their beards for the same reason modern man removes a beard; their wives made them!

Ummm, wouldn’t avoiding frostbite be a good reason to NOT pluck out the beard? Seems to me like that would be natural facial protection from it.

How does not having a beard prevent frostbite, I wonder.

The so-called “praying mantis” is more correctly known as PREYING MANTIS.

surely that’s 360 degree vision not 3D?

Wouldn’t a beard prevent frostbite of the face?
