[QUOTE="Rick, post: 16890, member: 13"] I still maintain that it is totally random. Here is a pic of large mantis eating equally large prey in the form of another mantis. So by your theory this mantis should consider this prey large and dangerous and eat it by the neck. However as you see it started eating it down near the end of the thorax near the base of the wings. This was not done intentionally either in case anyone asks. They were both out of cages for cleaning and the chinese decided to roam around and got caught.
