Marcus the desperate lover.

[MarcusTheRoach]

Okay. Marcus (my male American cockroach) is desperate for my female ( Layla) to give him some LOVE. Layla is having NONE of it. She’s ready to mate, but she’s been a big grouch when Marcus tries to get on with it. (I would be too) Marcus is acting more hyper and eating a lot more than normal. Is he really turned on or what? Is this normal for adult males?

Females usually only need to mate once in their lives to produce many viable oothecae, so oftentimes the males go rejected for a while in between matings.
