so I introduced my female and male yesterday night. Fed the girl Dubias and used a popsicle stick to move the male behind her and get him on. It’s been 1 whole day now, I’ve heard him drumming and trying to connect but haven’t actually seen them connect. I want to remove him tomorrow morning and give him a break and food but how will I know if they successfully mated? Should I leave them together for longer since they seem okay for now?  I just don’t want to lose my male cause I have another female I want to use him for.

Don't separate them, but keep an eye on them. Males can take a few days to get comfortable.
