[QUOTE="Ranitomeya, post: 292975, member: 6796"] I've had best luck placing them on the tip of my finger and then putting their faces against the end of the female's wings. They jump right on. I've had less luck picking them up by their thorax and placing them on the female since they tend to become very skittish from being manhandled. You'll have to be patient even after getting the male on--he'll drum a lot, fail to connect many times, and mostly just sit on the female doing nothing for very long periods of time before finally connecting. After that, I wish you luck with the fertility of the oothecae. [/QUOTE]
