What does a female praying mantis do after mating?
Correct answer: Eats a male mantis

Casual cannibalism doesn't occur every mating. It's dependent upon the stress level of the female and possibly the performance of the mail, LOL.

Wow did not know this. I've heard about a spider that does this but not a praying mantis (his "prayers" went unheard!!!!!) 😋

Alison,
The “prayers” may actually be the female saying grace

fergiethefrog, It was shown the female can begin eating the male even before the (act) is climaxed. Talk about in a haste. ! ! !

some spiders do this. Some others have learnt, the male takes a food package to the female so she will not eat him.
Nature is incredibly beautiful and incredibly cruel.
