“You can’t eat me? I'm the husband!” “Well,” said the female mantis, “soon you'll be a man in wife.”
How is the second mantis trying to run away without a brain to tell him so? I think it's just a reflex. Or is their nervous system so distributed that it could be so?

I think #3 and #18 have the short of it.... he didn't care about making babies, or he would recognize the good for his offspring his sacrifice would produce (getting stronger faster) but he tries to take off, which means he was only in it for the sex. In which case: Mission success.
