A number of female insects eat their husbands during the coital act. It has been argued that in
the praying mantis,
for example, the male can only copulate successfully when half his head has been eaten away -
something to do
with releasing nervous inhibitions! It has been pointed out that mantises will mate satisfactorily
in the terrarium
if the female's terrible forelimbs are tied before she is introduced to the male - so perhaps
cannibalism is not
essential to coitus. The females among many insect-eating Diptera are also apt to gnaw away
at their husbands,
and a variety of other fates may await the amorous male. In the fly Serromyia femorata, of the
family
Ceratopogonidae, mating takes place with the two ventral surfaces together and the
mouthparts touching. At the
end of mating, the female sucks out the body content of the male through the mouth. In the
Asilidae, the male
sometimes eats the female during or after mating.
