[7] They use looming signals in order to detect and calculate other organisms or objects heading towards them using motion-in-depth perception.

However some studies do denote that there is no evidence of this species being able to judge the size of their prey and mostly just focus on their depth, which can probably be connected to their generalist predatory behavior.

Hence, why female mantids including this species will resort to post mating cannibalism to supplement the energy and nutrition needed to survive and reproduce.

Females must perform mainly specific antennal movements as a premating behavior along with hormones in order to attract the attention of the males.

[16] Studies have come to the conclusion that this behavior can be attributed female mantids needing nutrition in order to produce more offspring.

It has been documented that females of this species are commonly in a state of hunger in natural settings which is shown to be a driver of this behavior.

In captivity, under circumstances in which females are well fed, they have shown to not perform cannibalism on the male mantid after copulation.
