Holy Monkey grinders, the Praying Mantis from my Flash in the Pan
Yes, female praying mantises sometimes eat their mates during or after mating, a behavior called sexual cannibalism. The female consumes the male for the protein and amino acids to produce more eggs. The male’s body can continue to mate even after its head is bitten off, as nerves in the abdomen control mating without brain input. Source: Google Search
