Then your "hypothesis" would be just as suspect Stedric , and the female praying mantis "sometimes" kills(not devours) the male as do many spiders(funny how you totally took one event out of context and thought because of this every book written on the subject took this naturalist as its evidence). The male tries to escape after mating and is often succesful(if they arent its agood thing their genes arent passed on to more females as a result). Claiming "scientists" thought the world was flat in 1500 's would also only be accurate to scientists living in the Vatican controlled countries of europe. Ancient greeks "knew" the world was round through simple empirical observation. And, that was over a thousand years "before" the 1500's .....And, actually every biology textbook in the world will not tell you "the female devours" the male, it simply states they(females) generally attack the male after mating(as do alot of other insects). I'm not treating science as Canon Fact , im treating empirical evidence as such. The only reason scientists claimed the world was flat was because of the church's insistence against the world being round. Also heliocentric theory was a "burn at the stake offense" the only thing that saved Galileo was his connections in the church. You can disagree all you like I'll still buy empirical observation. Also privately as recorded in memoirs released at the time and found now by archivists, would even show european scientists as not thinking the world is flat...at any time...

It's kind of an irony you attack science but then make your observation and claim it as fact dont you think? Then go on to cite one example of a naturalist who was disproved within the year... But, claim because of his observations we think that Praying mantids attack and devour after mating (they do however attack , I used to keep them as pets, makes me no expert but the difference between male and female is quite observable , and they(females) do attack after mating, which is why the male often flees as fast as possible. But hey you believe what you want, but I suppose every biologist is wrong and your right. After all because science is always changing we shouldnt believe a word of it right? (its healthy to approach with skepticism but simply to dismiss without researching the whole body of evidence is absurd).
