The Love of the Praying Mantis in Insects

Locusts are a common occurrence of praying mantises, which can eat locusts as large as they are, but what is even more surprising is that praying mantises also eat the same kind.

The temper of the praying mantis is very grumpy, and when the season of mating and egg laying of the mantis comes, the temperament of the female mantis will become more and more cruel and abnormal, with a strong possessiveness and jealousy, and it is common for the same sex to eat each other.

Not only that, but the female mantis will also eat her newlywed husband unceremoniously.

The Insect Book reads: After the male mantis successfully proposes to the opposite sex, he first spends a long and beautiful wedding, and on the day of mating, at the latest on the next day, the female mantis treats the locust as if it were a locust (the praying mantis first from the neck of the locust, one hijacks the claw to grasp the locust, and the other presses the head of the locust, so that the top of the neck is broken. So the praying mantis inserted its sharp mouth from the place where the armor was lost, and gnawed it with perseverance. In layman's terms, according to her custom, she first bites off her neck, eats off her head, and then goes to her body until she has wings left. Eat your own newlywed husband.

Such a bloody scene has to go through nearly ten times, and the female mantis has to eat a dozen newlywed husbands to complete the task of continuing offspring.

Compared to human love and marriage, this love and marriage of the praying mantis is terrifying.

It is said that some other insects, such as goldenrods, crickets, spiders, grasshoppers, mosquitoes and lions, etc., also have such a habit, and insects that are fathers must sacrifice their lives for their offspring.

In the thousands of lives of nature, there are no wonders.
