Is it just me or are these mantises really hard to mate?

Imo there really easy to mate, just like A.formosana

Just put a few males in a tank, and then put a female in. In a few minutes there's a male on top.

At least that's my experience..

With 3 females and 1 male, I can't really do that. The male jumps on but the female keeps refusing. She'll like kick is butt off of hers or something and they never actually connect. The female never opens up. The male gives up in lost hope.

My male took a good month before he was ready to mate, but if the female is the one with the problems then maybe she needs more time.

My male had to rotate on her back a couple times and get an up close look at what he was working with.

Well, one female already yielded 3 oothecae!!
