A forensic engineer will prove useful.  The prosecution should retain one now.

The Praying Mantis, a Friend and Foe of New York City Gardens

The frothy, walnut-size blobs attached to shrubs this time of the year belong to mantises, the camouflaged insects who are subject of many urban myths.

"Then here is the mother of all mantis tales: The male mantis cannot copulate without the risk that the female will bite his head off. Though generally untrue, the idea is not completely without merit. The mantis’s brain coordinates motor control, but ganglia within his abdomen control copulation. So having literally lost his head, a mantis may be capable of more aggressive copulation once the tempering influence of the brain is removed. There may be more than just nutrition inspiring the female."
