    Yeah thats why women who kill men (for money usually) are called Black Widows. Also the Praying Mantis female starts to have sex with the male and during the sex she begins to eat his head, so he head is almost completely eaten off and they are still going at it. Then afterwards she just tosses his dead body down to the ground and goes to lay her eggs. Aren't insects beautiful? xD

    Yes that's why it's called the black WIDOW. The female will kill the male after mating with him, I'm not necessarily sure if she actually eats him or not. Kinda gross to think about. Lol. But from time to time I see a black widow and they're very creepy, not to mention I believe they're poisonous.

    yup black widows are poisonous, as in very poisonous and they do this because the males want to make sure that their genes are passed on, the best way to do this is to ensure the survival of the young. if the female is weak, hasn't fed in a while, then the young will probably be smaller and not be able to survive. by letting the female eat him, he provides energy for the female which will help his offspring survive and give them the best chances.

    or atleast i believe tht is why, ive heard it afew times on nature documentaries so i ges it is correct.

    Damn..... my secret is out.....

    However you got it slightly wrong. I tend to kill them BEFORE sex. Any man tries it on with me and BAM! I just wish I could stop killing the females though.....

    Ever heard of Manbearpig? :grin:

    Preying mantis's do it too. Except the females rip the head off of the male after sex. They do it because it produces more sperm.

    And there's your science lesson for today courtesy of Trumpetplyer.
