From things I recall reading some where and some time, that actually only seems to be prevalent among matis...es? Among mantises in captivity. It's based on a need to replenish their energy after a heavy day of mating. There's no easy way to get other nourishment, and the male is right there, sooooo... Off with his head.

From what I understand it's far less common in the wild.

In the MGE, it wouldn't happen at all. Mamono typically do not kill, except perhaps in defense of family and loved ones.
