On one of my trips to Khormaksa when I was on Valiant tankers there was a Ladies Night in the mess. We weren't invited so we stayed outside on the veranda. There was a magnificent green mantis which was just about to be mated by the small drab brown male of the species who had to hang on upside down to perform.
Some of the ladies came out for some fresh air (?) and observed this little carry on. I had joined the RAF in Rhodesia so I knew what the score was going to be, there being stacks of manti there.
'He's going to eat him when he has finished", quoth I.
"Don't believe you, she wouldn't do that".
With that he finished the deed, the female looked down at him, screwed off his head and then started pushing his body into a more convenient place to finish him off.
Best divorce settlement on the planet.
