Less than a 75% decapitation rate? Gee, you are right. The mantis-americans are being slandered here. Those are odds I can work with.

That’s “moot”. “Mute” is almost unknown without dangerous and expensive neurosurgery.

I like how the human side is skin-color and the mantis side is green. =3

it is sad that the first thing i thought of when i saw this graph is that episode of buffy where xander nearly was forced to mate with the praying mantis

to mc- i dunno about the rest of you, but im pretty sure getting your head bittin off is more likely to happen during foreplay then the actual sex

And what is really amazing is that less than 75% of praying mantids actually display this behavior that people erroneously keep propagating because they are morons (the people not the mantids).

Yup. By removing the head pre/peri intercourse, the motor control that is regulated by the brain is cut off (haha) and therefore allows the remaining ganglia, which allow instinctual reactions, to occur. A decapitated male praying mantid is actually more effective at mating, than one with a head.

So praying mantis sex and human sex ARE the same then!!

To be fair, the female bites the head off the male to initiate sex. It’s afterwards that she eats him.

That’s brilliant- I wasn’t expecting a praying mantis- human sex comparison today!!

Praying Mantis turns the camera off when the eating is over. She’s _that_ kinky.

Sex cannibalism more likely to occur during sex than after.

I still laughed though .
