The praying mantis

The praying mantis story of love may not be romantic , but there is certainly drama! About half way through copulation, the female reaches back and rips the head off her male partner. She then eats his head while the rest of his body is still mating with her. Once she’s finished eating the head, she’ll devour the rest of his body too.
