Thanks for you comments folks. Actually, as often happens, I open my (blog)-mouth, THEN check the facts, and it appears that shes only eats hims about 30% of the time, and then more often in laboratory situations when she is probably hungrier.
And anyway, it is sensible, really, when you think about those selfish genes...
Anyway, I am a bit casual in my liking for these green South American mantids, as they have all bit ousted our dear little indigenous brown ones.
Let me guess, the female eats the male?

I don't think I have seen a praying mantis since moving to Georgia. Used to see them frequently in Texas, though.
ReplyDeleteSame thing with armadillos.
I have yet to see a kiwi, a koala, a joey, or a platypus.
Hahaha! That's funny!
ReplyDeleteOur wisteria is nearly open and looks glorious! I suppose yours is long over.
We don't have mantids though, green or brown. :p
I didn't know that they were a South American incomer. I live and learn - again.
