We had a pair in our garden one year, using a sunflower leaf as their bedroom.   I happened to walk by on the second day as the male disengaged and did a backflip exit, successfully flying away.   Other times, there's been a few males that lost their head.

I don't know a lot of males who think that far ahead.
