"Praying mantises are mostly ambush predators, but a few ground-dwelling species are found actively pursuing their prey. They normally live for about a year. In cooler climates, the adults lay eggs in autumn then die. The eggs are protected by their hard capsules and hatch in the spring. Females sometimes practice sexual cannibalism*, eating their mates after copulation. Occasionally, the females decapitate the males just before or during mating. (Wikipedia)
