You must have heard this many times, ‘I will give up my life for love’. But the creatures we are talking about today take their lives out of love. Actually, these creatures later kill and eat the partners they love.
In the language of science, such creatures are called "sexual cannibalism" It is said. The surprising thing is that there are not just one or two such creatures on earth. Rather, many such organisms are found in different species. Let us tell you about these in detail today.
Praying Mantis is one such creature.
Praying Mantis is one such creature which First she loves and then she kills and eats. Actually, it is said about the female praying mantis that she has sexual intercourse with her partner and then bites him and eats him.
After scientific research, they argue that the mantis does this because Because this behavior helps in increasing the fertility of the female. Apart from this, it also increases the physical strength of the female, due to which she lays eggs better.
Jumping spiders also do this
The behavior of sexual cannibalism has also been observed in jumping spiders. In these, the female jumping spider eats her male partner after mating. The female spider does this because she does not want the male spider to control her. As soon as a male spider tries to do this, the female spider hunts him. Apart from this, the female jumping spider sometimes does this to increase its fertility and also for its nutrition.
The same is said for the black widow spider
Like the jumping spider, it is also said for the black widow spider that the female of this species often kills and eats her partner. However, scientists say that not every black widow spider does this. This is seen only in some spiders and that too under certain circumstances. Actually, when a spider is pregnant, it becomes difficult to hunt it, in such a situation some black widow spiders kill and eat their partners.
