Mating behaviors of insects
... Copulation and/or insemination are the end result of a successful mating. In some apterygote insects, including many Collembola, not only is sperm transfer indirect, but the male may place spermatophores on the substrate and never encounter the female that picks them up. Yet various forms of non-co ...

Sexual cannibalism
Sexual cannibalism is when a female cannibalizes her mate prior to, during, or after copulation. It is a phenomenon characterized primarily by members of arachnid orders as well as several insect orders. The adaptive foraging hypothesis, aggressive spillover hypothesis and mistaken identity hypothesis are several hypotheses that have been proposed to explain how sexual cannibalism evolved. This behavior is believed to have evolved as a manifestation of sexual conflict, occurring when the reproductive interests of males and females differ. In many species that exhibit sexual cannibalism, the female consumes the male upon detection. Females of cannibalistic species are generally hostile and unwilling to mate; thus many males of these species have developed adaptive behaviors to counteract female aggression.
