Abstract

The number of lifetime mating opportunities and mating behavior of males in two sexually cannibalistic species, the Mediterranean, Iris oratoria, and bordered, Stagmomantis limbata, praying mantids was investigated. Findings indicated that some I. oratoria and S. limbata males meet several females over their lifetimes. Males of neither species showed any suicidal behavior. Long copulation times in S. limbata may be due to paternity ensurance.
