A female praying mantis will eat the male. Most entomologists (scientists who study insects) think she does this to get a boost of nutrition so she has enough energy to produce eggs.", "Turning Heads:

The praying mantis is the only insect that can turn its head!

The praying mantis is a very predatory insect, and can turn its head, while most insects do not have a distinct neck and need to turn their entire body to look a different direction.", "One Ear is Better Than None:

It was long thought that the praying mantis had no auditory system, and that they relied solely on sight.

Beneath the bellies of certain male mantises is a single, teardrop-shaped ear. This single ear makes it impossible for the mantis to locate the source of a sound, but it has the ability to pick up ultra-sonic ranges made by bats.

The species of mantids that possess an ear have longer wings. Because they fly at night looking for mates, the ability to hear protects them from predators.", "A Daring Escape:

The success of escape for the mantis comes from its ability to dive in unpredictable patterns. ", "Praying Mantes Diabolique:

If the male mantis isn't careful, a hungry female will feed on him before copulation. Female mantes have been known to grab a male, then eat parts of his legs and eyes, and decapitate him before copulating with the remains. ", "The Headless Mantid:

Male mantids are capable of copulating without their head. In fact, decapitation removes the part of the brain that inhibits copulation, so his sexual responses are activated to the point where he will try to mate with any slender object.", "Eaten While Eating!

One day, a woman noticed a large praying mantis watching the hummingbirds as they came to feed from her backyard bird feeder. It appeared as if the mantis was stalking the birds!

The next day, the mantis appeared to be sitting on the same spot, so the woman decided to film the unusual activity of the mantis. In a lightning move, the mantis snatched the bird in its jaws.

It swallowed the whole hummingbird in one bite, with only a few feathers left in proof of this amazing capture.", "Male Mantis Meal:

If the male mantis isn't careful, a hungry female will feed on him before they mate. The female mantis has been known to grab a male, then eat parts of his legs and eyes, and decapitate him before copulating with the remains.
