So, the cannibalism is mainly situational. I'm not an entomologist, however, so I could easily be wrong.

I also did Praying Mantis Kung Fu which would explain what thea mcginnis says about the posture of the Praying Mantis, they are indeed remarkable creatures.

I see a praying mantis in our garden from time to time and hope they are the ones that came out of that egg case that warm, sunny day! Gardens are wonderful laboratories! I'm always learning every day! Thank you for reminding me! I actually had an egg case that hatched several years ago and I got to see the baby mantises coming out!

It obviously thought I couldn't see it..until I said hello! its posture then developed a rather wary, tentative pose. I reassured it not to worry and to have a nice day and moved along in my garden. i found one lazing around on one of my climbing roses.
