After mating a praying mantis kills its mate....is that the reason it appears to pray always....for redemption perhaps?

The mate eating is an article of faith for the mantis.  She does not need redemption form it.

I think you're suffering from an advanced case of anthropomorphism... Ascribing human traits to non humans... It's just their nature Veena... No more, no less
Minding you eating your lover can be fun :)

No, they're praying that another mate shows up quickly.

This was bad but still funny, good job lol

maybe
