    @thenerdbeast7375 4 ปีที่แล้ว +208

    I remember reading recently that the "fact" that cannibalism is a regular part of praying mantis mating is incorrect. Yes the female will eat the male if she is hungry enough, but more often then not the male is able to live and mate another day. This myth comes from studies on captive specimens, where they were kept in close proximity to each other and the male was unable to escape due to the confines of their container. So yes, praying mantises are cannibals but it isn't a normal part of their courting behavior like the australian red-backed spider.

    • @critterfreek83
      @critterfreek83 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Thank you! It’s always so, so important to keep in mind that what we see happen between individual animals in captivity may not always be the case for other, free-roaming individuals-If I remember correctly, one Portuguese study found that under natural, wild conditions, a mere 25-30% of male European mantids are eaten by their partners.

    I remember in science class, we had some rainbow trout. Over the weekend, one trout ate another because nobody was there to feed them. On Monday, we noticed a trout looking bigger and a fish tail sticking out of it's mouth.

      It's already happened before. Search up "A Modest Proposal" by Johnathan Swift. It's a satire about the Irish potato famine suggesting that the poor sell their children to the rich as meat.

      K-Pop Dance Cover Hall of Fame I’m gonna assume you don’t know what a satire is or skipped the word. Satire is defined as “The use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.”
