After hearing that mantises only eat their mate in captivity, I kinda wonder if the same is true of black widows.

I saw a wild pair of mantids as a child and the female was definitely eating a male.

Not sure on the specifics, but I’ve dealt with my fair share of black widows. Their webs usually contain a shriveled up corpse of a male just kinda hanging about.

Some mantids can only copulate after their head has been eaten, their body still is doing the deed while beheaded.
