The female mantis s husband killing behavior, is the male mantis voluntary?

The male mantis said: Do you think I was eaten of my own volition? Do you think I don't want to run? The point is that the female praying mantis is huge, and if you catch it, you can't run away.

In the animal world, females are eaten by females before, during, and after mating, which is a very common phenomenon and is known as sexual cannibalism, of which the typical representative is "praying mantis eats husband". There may be some misunderstandings about this process, and it will be thought that the male mantis completes the task after mating and actively dedicates himself to being eaten by the female praying mantis, which is actually not true. Animals also have survival instincts, and will not dedicate their lives, male mantis knows that mating with female mantis will be life-threatening, so when looking for female mantises, they are cautious, do not dare to face the female mantis head-on, they will suddenly jump to the female mantis from behind.

This allows you to complete the mating and avoid being caught by the female praying mantis, and not all female praying mantis eats the male mantis after mating, depending on whether the female mantis is hungry or not. Generally, those female mantis with larger bellies mean that they are not hungry and are more conducive to giving birth to the next generation, so these female mantis are the preferred targets of male mantises. Male mantis will try to avoid the attack of the female mantis, and strive to mate with a few more female mantis before being eaten, which is more conducive to the survival rate of their offspring, and eggs cannot be put in one basket.

The behavior of the female praying mantis eating the male mantis is also very well understood, that is, it is too hungry and lacks nutrients, and there is no way to lay eggs to form the next generation, scientists have done a lot of field observation records, and found that in all the mating behaviors, the probability of the male mantis being eaten is about 31%. It can be said that this kind of thing is quite common, but not all male mantis will die after mating. You can take a look at the egg sheath formed by the female mantis after mating in the ** below, where the offspring of the praying mantis are bred.

The mother mantis thought to herself: The old lady excretes so many nutrients at one time, what will you take if you don't eat it? The words are not rough, and the female praying mantis kills her husband in order to give birth to offspring.

However, the male mantis will try to avoid the attack of the female mantis, cast a wide net and mate with more female mantises, if it is attacked by the female mantis, it is generally impossible to escape, and the difference in size between the two is still a lot.

The black hole of literature and science, the **** network invasion and deletion.

The female mantis's "husband-killing" behavior, of course, the male mantis is voluntary. Because only when the female mantis eats the male mantis can a successful insemination be completed. Female praying mantis can successfully reproduce the next generation.

It's not voluntary, because this kind of weirdness happens when the species evolves to such an extent. Then the male mantis can't escape such a fate, it's a kind of absurd evolution.

Male praying mantis is certainly not voluntary. Male mantis can actually be called a "scumbag", when they mate with a female mantis, they usually don't let the female mantis see him, and after mating, they slip away, they don't want to be responsible at all, let alone give their lives.

The two of them are husband and wife After mating, if the female mantis is pregnant, then the male mantis will take the initiative to ask the female mantis to eat it, because it is for the reproduction of the next generation, which is their natural law.

Male praying mantis is not voluntary, as they are also constantly dodging attacks. Each time it is particularly risky, and they risk being eaten to mate in order to allow their offspring to reproduce.

It's not that you don't run, it's that you can't run away at all! In fact, praying mantis not only eats their mates, but as carnivorous insects, they eat their siblings and parents when they are hungry. Because of this, the praying mantis has become one of the insects that has not been cultivated in captivity until now.

The praying mantis is definitely a killer in the biological world, the forelimbs of the praying mantis prey, just like two serrated knives, when hunting prey, it is as fast as lightning, and it can hook the prey at once, when the female mantis eats the male mantis, the male mantis can't resist, and it doesn't want to die, but it is not as big as the female praying mantis.

After the male mantis and the female mantis mating is completed, the task of passing on the ancestry is completed, and the female mantis at this time, because it is very much in need of nutrition to supplement physical strength, in order to better produce the baby mantis, will eat the male mantis, which is the fate of the male mantis. The fate of the male mantis is that it can only be loved once in a lifetime, and this kind of love has also reached loyalty, the female mantis will generally eat the male mantis, and the male mantis will also resist, because of the thinness of the body, the resistance has to be eaten by the female mantis.

The male mantis has an unbalanced male and female ratio in the world of praying mantises, which is about 3:7, which means that male mantis can freely choose female mantises. The female praying mantis is much larger than the male mantis, generally 2-3 times their size.

And male praying mantis generally prefer female praying mantis with a strong and large belly as their mate, which is the aesthetic of their population. Moreover, it takes 2-5 hours for each mantis to mate, and if the other party is hungry halfway, he is the most fragrant and convenient snack at hand. At this time, if the male mantis fights head-on, it is basically bound to lose, and the best way is to run away after mating while the female mantis does not react.

In the rainforest, there is a huge praying mantis that can also hunt snakes and frogs.

The praying mantis is also a master of camouflage, and the color of its body can be blended with the surrounding scenery, so that many small creatures can't find it, once they see the praying mantis appear, they only bring killing, and the praying mantis is a ferocious little creature. Good at camouflage, one hit kill, known as a sniper in nature, the forelimbs of the praying mantis are thick and powerful, can firmly lock the prey, there are sharp spines on the forelimbs, can instantly pierce the body of the prey, the praying mantis is a perfectly evolved species.

It is the law of nature that the female praying mantis eats her husband.

Because the female mantis eats the male mantis in order to make the baby mantis grow better, in order to provide nutrition for the baby mantis, so the male mantis will not resist.

Because the nature of this creature is that the female mantis wants to eat the male mantis, in order to reproduce the offspring, this is what they must do, so the male mantis will not resist and will not run away.

This is due to the physiological and biological structure of the praying mantis and the way it reproduces, in order to better breed the next generation.

<> "The female mantis eats her husband after mating, why the male mantis doesn't resist."

Purely hungry.

The first time was to feed the female praying mantis and then mate, but the male mantis was not eaten after the actual mating.

The second experiment was to divide the female praying mantis into three batches, which were starved for 5-11 days, 3-5 days, and 0 days (full), and the results showed that the group that was hungry for the longest time did not want to reproduce the next generation at all, and ate the male mantis when they came up; The batch that was hungry for three or five days was the batch that first mated and then thought about eating the male celery mantis and was not hungry at all, and as in the first experiment, there was no mate eating.

I'm big, I'm reasonable.

Generally speaking, precocious animals that are obviously aggressive to their own kind and have obvious body size differences between males and females are prone to sexual cannibalism.

Just like the praying mantis, the female mantis is significantly larger and stronger than the male mantis, and has the ability to eat its own kind.

If a female mantis itself has a bad temper and is very aggressive, when it meets a male mantis, the male mantis courtship ritual is not perfect, or some other reason provokes the female mantis.

Can't afford it. Animals also have their own choice when choosing a mate, mainly from the size, aggression, appearance and other aspects of the mate, courtship ceremony is also very important, in which the various movements and dances are also a way to show whether the individual is healthy.

In general, individuals who are large and aggressive, are considered healthy, genetically superior, and more favored by courting animals.

In order to pass on the genes, voluntary sacrifice.

There is a great deal of variation between males and females, with females as large as 1 meter and males up to 10 centimeters (single digits of 2 centimeters have also been found). The combination of the two is also unique, as the male finds a match for which he bites the female, and then slowly merges with the female's body and becomes a part of it. In short, the male has no ego at all, it is at best a reproductive organ (the real genetic container) on the female body, and the rest is completely dependent on the female to live.

The female mantis eats the male mantis to reproduce, and when you see the male crab eating the female crab, it is the male crab is hungry, and when you see the adult male crab eating the baby crab with the female crab, that is also when they are hungry. But crabs have always existed, why do they exist? Because they have the ability to reproduce continuously.

Being able to reproduce the next generation and not let the species of this genus go extinct is the rationality of the simplest existence.

It's too cruel, isn't it that the female mantis will eat the male mantis?

The most poisonous woman's heart, this is not wrong at all!

1. Willingness in cartoons Many people have watched the domestic cartoon "Black Cat Sheriff" when they were children, and there is an episode of "The Praying Mantis Who Eats Her Husband" in "Black Cat Sheriff" The mantis girl and the praying mantis youth met in a battle with locusts, and they fell in love at first sight. The little animals had a grand wedding for them. On the morning of the second day of the wedding, everyone finds that the groom has been eaten by an unknown animal and reports the situation to the black cat sheriff.

Sheriff Black Cat immediately rushed to the scene. After investigating, the sheriff understood the cause and effect. The sheriff held a televised conference and told everyone that the groom was eaten by the bride, that it was the habit of the praying mantis for the bride to eat the groom, and that the groom had to make sacrifices in order to reproduce the next generation, so after the wedding night, the groom asked the bride to eat him, and told the bride that this was what his mother did as well.

The mantis girl gives her husband's suicide note to the sheriff. Sheriff Black Cat acquits the bride.

However, there are some male praying mantis in nature that have had some evolution, and they use tail mating when mating, and once the mating is completed, they will fly away quickly, leaving no time and space for the female mantis to attack, and the mortality rate of this part of the praying mantis is relatively small.

In fact, as early as 1984, two zoologists wanted to study the motivation of praying mantis to eat mates. Experimental studies have found that after mating with the male mantis when the female mantis is full, the male mantis will be allowed to leave. If the female mantis is already slightly hungry, it will mate first, and after the mating is completed, it will selectively eat the male mantis, if it is extremely hungry, it will not only refuse to mate, but will eat the male mantis when it sees it.

Although the number of offspring of female praying mantis that has eaten her husband is 20 per cent higher than that of those who have not eaten their mate. But one thing is for sure, the male mantis is clearly not willing to be eaten.

I don't think it's willing, no species wants to be eaten by itself, but after the female mantis has mated, it will eat the male mantis because it is hungry.

Of course, it is willing, because the female mantis is in urgent need of nutrition after giving birth, and the mission of the male mantis is to be eaten by the female mantis after mating, all for the reproduction of the race.

What kind of race continues, the laws of nature, all are blind guesses, eating a male mantis is just simply hungry, and the objects that move in the eyes of the mantis are food.

There is an episode in Black Cat Sheriff where the male mantis is eaten by the female mantis after mating. In order to reproduce the posterior belt, the female mantis lacks a trace element in its body and must eat the male mantis to be able to reproduce. Male mantis is voluntary.

After the praying mantis mates, the male mantis will be eaten by the female praying mantis, which is a natural law.

Willingly, this is how the praying mantis continues its offspring, which is the law of nature.

Why does the female mantis eat the male mantis after mating? The truth is hard to accept!

The truth is cruel, the female praying mantis eats the mated male mantis probably just because of hunger, in zoologists' statistics, only a few male mantis are eaten after mating, and those female praying mantis who are already full before mating do not do so.

Praying mantis is a species that hunts primarily by lurking raids, and is slow to move, so they will take every opportunity to eat insects that crawl on, come across, or are within range of their forelimbs. Based on the experience gained from observation in the past, many people believe that male mantis and female mantis are eaten after mating, because the evolution of the mantis makes the male mantis sacrifice himself as the food of the female mantis, so that they can better lay eggs, some male mantis will twist their bodies when mating, and some are eaten from the beginning by the female mantis during mating, and even if the lower body is left, the male mantis can still maintain the mating action.

However, this claim has been questioned under laboratory conditions, where humans can provide more food to the praying mantis, and female mantis rarely eats male mantis in the absence of hunger, and scientists have also observed courtship behavior of rare praying mantises. Even in nature, the actual phenomenon observed by animal behaviorists is that the number of male praying mantis that is eaten after mating is very small, and the vast majority fly away after mating.

Female praying mantis tend to be larger than male praying mantises, and this difference in size has been thought to be an evolutionary means of avoiding cannibalism, making it possible for them to mate without feeling much or "uncomfortable" with the female mantis. Based on zoological research, praying mantis does not have a complex neural network and is relatively slow, so evolutionary history makes them tend to attack those prey that suddenly jump in front of them, and in the mating behavior, the male mantis will slowly approach the female mantis to avoid the female mantis being frightened and waving her forearms to capture herself.

In the natural environment, the courtship behavior of the praying mantis can temporarily make the female mantis more gentle, thus avoiding the death of the mating partner. In other words, it is not necessary for female mantis to eat male mantis during mating, and only a few are eaten statistically to verify this view, but when female mantis is full, it is also conducive to spawning and other activities. In short, it is to pass on the genes.

In addition, it is very common in nature for insects with females larger than males, and it is rare for them to have cannibalistic habits, and the behavior of praying mantis eating their own kind is not very common in the praying mantis population, and it will probably not be a necessary reproductive behavior.
