Now This Is Harsh...!

I think that we are all aware that Mother Nature can be harsh at times, but here is a case where she almost outdoes herself.



The female praying mantis has been known to bite the head off her partner during sex – and the male praying mantis has been known to keep right on mating with her, despite having just been decapitated in a violent sex act. Source

I realize the urge to reproduce is very strong, but after all...it's still pretty harsh!

Coffee in the kitchen this morning...OK?

Hey Sixbears...
Not hard to see who is the dominate one there.
Thanks for stopping by today!


Hey Mamahen...
Certainly no romance, but straight to business!
Thanks for coming over today!


Hey Linda...
Can't get much rougher than that.
Thanks for the visit this morning!

I bet a lot of human wives would like to do that every now and then. But let's hope they just do it with words. . .

Sorry to interrupt your blog comments Jim, but I sent you an email a few days ago and never heard back. Did you not receive it or maybe it went to spam?
Let me know and I can dig it up and resend.
Hope you're doing well :)
