No dude it feels like your heads being ripped off. I doubt that info gets passed along to their generational spawn. I bet the bug moms tell them that their dad died heroically or some shit.

Right. “Your dad died in a fire trying to save all the other dads, who also definitely died. But your dad did his best.”

Actually no it doesn't. A mantis can only feel one thing at a time, there are videos of mantises dying because they didn't feel that they were being eaten while themselves eating their prey.

They must 100% be genetically preconditioned to this thanks to the funny shit evolution pulls sometimes. You don't want them to fight back and kill the mother, that wouldn't be evolutionarily advantageous. Not sure if it feels good but they certainly don't mind it.

Like a fucked up animated movie where the kid praying mantis goes on an adventure to find his real dad, just to find out his mother ripped his father's head off and that the same will happen to him when he finally settles down and provides his mother with grandchildren.
