Isn't the mantis the species where the female bites the head off the male after mating? Kinda chilled my interest in the whole species .

They will sometimes eat the male, even during mating, starting with the head. But they don't always do this.
Years ago I kept several of another species of mantis, both males and females. They were kept together in a terrarium. Lots of mating. Not one instance of cannibalism.
