Hisser mating behavior?

When a male Hisser is trying to mate with a female, does he hiss very loud multiple times and try to lock his abdomen with hers?

 
Yep! Sometimes he backs into her, other times he tries to swing in from the side. Females can prevent attempts by pushing their abdominal tips to the substrate, or just shoving the male and running away!

 
Well, the female is subadult so I'm surprised he is even trying to mate with her, I guess all that male roaches think about is sex lol.
