maybe the female isnt old enough? When i mated my chinese the males lock on tight with there raptors when they jump on on the females back. So the male in the pic is showing no interest at all in mating. Im no expert but i would wait another week and try again. Also the female has to be walking around for the male to take interest. you can tell when the male is interested he will point with his antena at the female as she walks then wait for his moment and jump or fly on her back. Also i dont think they climb on there backs they tend to jump. Good luck!

 
Not interested...separate them and give him a day or two...increase temp and RH...then take male out, put on flat surface and then introduce her a little in front of him and then coax her to move.....this should get his attention...then blow on him a little and he should mount her....

All the best,

Andrew

 
Generally an easy species. In your pics he isn't showing any interest. The blowing trick only works if he is mounted properly but is not bending the abdomen to connect.
