How do female birds choose mates?
A praying mantis adult female does its only duty to its young. This duty consists of guarding the egg case and laying it inside of a hardened protective case called an ootheca. Depending on the location, The Adult female then dies but the egg case is protected from all weather to the most part, except fire and too much water. In the rainforest, praying mantises live year long so they do guard the egg cases to the longest time possible. In the Western Hemisphere, the adult female dies two weeks after laying the egg case.

Will wolf spiders eat brown recluse spiders?
Wolf spiders and praying mantises eat each other. If one is bigger than the other, and is hungry, the larger of the two will likely eat the smaller. If they are both about the same size, it depends who sees who first, and who is hungrier. In the northeast U.S., large wolf spiders and large Chinese mantises compete for food all the time, and only the adult female Chinese mantises can overpower and eat adult wolf spiders. Usually the mantis can avoid being bitten by using the dexterity of it's forelegs to re-position it in such a way that the spider's fangs cannot reach any part of the mantis. The mantis then slowly will eat the spider alive. But if the spider is on the hunt, and sneaks up behind a mantis that is not paying attention, one quick bite would probably be enough to subdue the mantis. This has been studied extensively in northeast U.S. meadows, where both large wolf spiders and large praying mantises live. Look at the book "The Praying Mantids" by Dr. Frederick Prete. It's very technical, but the info is there. It's a bug-eat-bug world out there.
