Tough love...

They say that love can be a "dog, wolf or fox female", this time it came in heat...









Follow the white light, hehehehe



This was the first time I saw sexual cannibalism, kinda creeps you out, doesn't it?

Egads... yep... that's tough love, I guess.

Hehe, nasty

mantids are so evil..

im glad ive never seen it in real life before!

Don't bypass the word filters.

Doesn't really bother me! :lol:

I can only imagine what goes on in the mantids mind. "Is it worth it? At least I won't die a virgin!"

It's like that old joke, I think...about the fly...what's the last thing that goes through a fly's mind when it hits the windshield?

It's butt!

In this case, the last thing to go through the male's mind was her mandibles! *Crunch* *Crunch*!

And for the record, this is a wild-caught pair in the same state. I've seen it argued that it rarely happens outside of captivity...

that does not even look like the same mantis

My first thought too. But then the picture I posted might get a similar reaction.
