Behavior
The false garden mantis is not aggressive to humans. Females cannot fly due to their very reduced wings but the flying male is long winged and is not as big as the female. While some female false garden mantises eat their mates, this is largely dependent on the condition of the female; in a study conducted in 2012, 90% of starving female false garden mantises engaged in sexual cannibalism, whereas 0% of females in best condition did. Additionally, starving females put their limited resources into putting out pheromones to attract males as a way to lure them into a copulation attempt, despite being less fecund than female mantises in better condition.References:
