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 whole I was gone, lol.
What's up?

Fun fact, turns out they only decapitate matrs while under stress from the environment, which includes being observed apparently.
For decades, Researchers thought it was the default behavior and were wrong. Feels bad.

Funny how this and the alpha wolf research are both extremely popular, but are actually just bad science.
