attempted mating

[nursemelody]

So my male grass mantid molted, and I waited a a couple of weeks.. My female was never mated, but has laid three little ooths so far... I tried twice for a good 30 minutes to get them to mate, but neither one of them seems interested..... What should I do? Just keep trying every couple of days.... They ignore each other, and if I put him on her back, then she just walks away ahhaha

wait a few more days and try again and may want to maybe raise the temperature too to try to stimulate them perhaps and what usually works for me is get a container with the female inside and introduce the male inside and let them get together but make sure nothing is in the container with them as I used empty net cubes with good success!
