  hehehe, the process to humans.
  
  First, the males court with singing and chasing, and the females resists by kicking the male or running away (a little bit of teasing eh). If the female likes the male well enough, she will open her wings and let the male on the back. The mating is 25-30minutes!
  
  Here’s a pic of what’s going on:
