Courting?

[ladybird]

I found them like this in the morning. The night before, they were at opposite ends of the cage curled up by themselves. Do you think it's courting behaviour or not? Basically I'm wanting to know if I should keep the male in there another day or move him to a different female (I don't want to interrupt the courtship)

I just recently had a male in with a female that showed no interest for 2 days. On the third day, when I went to seperate them, he was breeding her. As a rule, I generally leave males in with females for three days (unless he breeds the first day). It is hard to tell from a still photo if he is courting, or if they just happen to be fighting for a good spot in the cage (i.e. trying to thermoregulate and happen to need the same temp at the same time). However, I would vte for leaving him in for another 24 hours and see what happens.
