the female will bite the head off the male praying mantis after mating ( How's that for a passion killer Guys)

Actually the female eats the head while they're mating (and actually eats it, doesn't merely decapitate him in one bite). A seperate brain in the male's abdomen keeps him going even after his head has been eaten and even for a while after mating is done.

(Thank you Weird Nature. Learned that quaint little tidbit yesterday)
