A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words
A male approaches to court this creature that appears delicate, tender, and even pious, an appearance that deceives everyone and that the male does NOT stop to analyze due to his eagerness to mate.
Un macho se acerca para cortejar a esta criatura de apariencia delicada, tierna e incluso piadosa, una apariencia que engaña a todos y que el macho no se detiene a analizar debido a su afán de aparearse.
As the female approaches she thinks: here comes this male, this is my chance and I'm not going to waste it.
Al acercarse, la hembra piensa: «Aquí viene este macho, esta es mi oportunidad y no la voy a desperdiciar».
The male approaches upon noticing the availability of the female, nothing else matters... Mating takes place, the male wants to get away but the female is NOT what the male sees, she is the opposite... The female shakes him and devours him instantly... The male makes a big mistake and pays with his life, he should have analyzed more carefully but he was only thinking about mating, his intelligence is lost and therefore his life as well while the female returns to her position and waits for a new victim.
El macho se acerca al notar la disponibilidad de la hembra; nada más importa... El apareamiento se produce; el macho quiere escapar, pero la hembra no es lo que ve, es todo lo contrario. La hembra lo sacude y lo devora al instante. El macho comete un grave error y lo paga con la vida. Debería haberlo analizado con más cuidado, pero solo pensaba en el apareamiento. Perdió la razón y, por lo tanto, la vida, mientras la hembra regresa a su posición y espera una nueva víctima.
Sorry, you are a guy, but you made me laugh with this one. I once wrote a story about a spider.
Let's say this guy didn't die for nothing. He will have offspring, no incest and made a good dinner.
What more does a girl want? LOL
The praying mantis devours the male to obtain its nutrients, that's what I know about the subject. I can say that the male acts like those ALPHA males, who see a woman and want to have relations, but sometimes they contract diseases, and all kinds of problems, as they say, any resemblance to reality is just coincidence. I liked this post too, in fact I like the way you write, it's nice, some writings have that subtle touch of black humor hahaha
