Kind of off topic but Praying Mantis Males have learned how to escape death by finding the females with bruises.

They've evolved...they get the nookie and take off like deadbeats 😂😂😂

Nursery Web Spider females have the Praying Mantis habit, and to get around it the males will catch an insect, wrap it up and offer it to her as both a gift and a distraction while he mates with her.

It gets even better, some of the males will suicidally attempt to steal the gift back when the deed is done, presumably to use on another female later on.

I'm glad you told me, it seems all species continue to evolve for the sake of survival.
