Hi David,
I'd suggest that obs is very worthy of an
article in CBN. Your choice of course. Pretty much as you have written it (with
a few more formal bits of wording). It is curious that the AM is typically
dominant to the PC, when they get close. Otherwise they do a pretty good job of
avoiding each other. The display you describe of the PC ("flattened its body,
stretched its wings and fluttered them") seems identical to the copulation
initiation display of a female PC to a male. It could have a dual
purpose.
