I think mating was coming to an end and the female was going to eat the male.

One of the most interesting and brutal insect observations I've ever had... 3 large individuals, 2 alive and one dead. The dead is being eaten by another and I believe the third is attempting to mate with the one that's cannibalizing the other. I stayed with the group for 30 minutes and (she?) consumed all but the head and some wing parts of the dead individual. Nobody seemed particularly interested in my presence. We observed 6 individuals this outing (3 in addition to those pictured).

Date is approximate. 3 individuals (2 males & 1 female) seen sometime in April, 1987. My mother and father (@dmpeterson ) were living in Monteverde in the spring of 1987, staying with the Gavin family. I have been digitizing their old slides, and thought these ones were significant, so I uploaded them. The date and location are approximate, based on their best recollection.
