Perhaps if would be worthwhile to pickup the male with a stick/dowel rod/whatever and re-position him on the female, that way if he could he would mate again.It is rather strange the amount they can do without a head, disturbing but fascinating too. Your welcome for the links. They were from a quick look, and several such as book references from the Google book previews don't allow link copy (it doesn't load) so there are many other things to read on the topic too if you do a search.</blockquote>
