Then what part of an embryonic cell turning into a full-grown adult (whatever species) is “irreducibly complex”? We just figured out that mantises have 3D vision - why is that grounds to immediately declare it “irreducibly complex”?

Not my argument. I'm simply addressing your erroneous comments about irreducible complexity.

I deduce from the article that "high speed stereo image processing and the myriad of cellular components underpinning the system" must be all working together or they wouldn't work at all as the article claims there are no precedents in other insects.

Perfectly reasonable assertion.
