Fun fact, turns out they only decapitate mates while under stress from the environment, which includes being observed apparently.
For decades, Researchers thought it was the default behavior and were wrong, they were in fact causing it. Feels bad.
Wait…is someone watching us?
Nooooooooo, nonono, absolutely not. Trust me honey I have very good eyesight and I can’t seAAAAAAHHHHH
Funny how this and the alpha wolf research are both extremely popular, but are actually just bad science.
So…preying mantii are quantum?
I recently stepped outside my front door to find a preying mantis hanging out. I left it alone. When I came back a few hours later it was still there, but it was headless. Took me a second to realize it was missing it’s head. Guess he got laid while I was gone, lol.
Like when your best friend has a new crush.
so… no head?
Those are female mantis
This is what happens when you think with your “other” head
