the grasshopper can severely injure the mantis, so in order to insure the mantis can beat the strong prey animal they took its strongest weapon. its pretty cruel, but there's lots of cases like this
the mantis wins because with its claws it can defend itself and go into combat whereas the grasshopper is herbivorous it has a jumping mechanic it doesn't have any defense or attack mechanics so the mantis would win
