Voted for the praying mantis.
New Zealand Praying Mantises are having a difficult time since colonization by South Africa.
The NZ Praying Mantises are chill, not like overseas mantises, no mate-eating happens in their life cycle, you just mate and go your separate ways, it's all good.
Unfortunately South African female mantises do eat their mates and they also have stronger pheromones so New Zealand males are more attracted to them and get killed and eaten without even getting a chance to reproduce. :-(
