he lands next to her at a 45 degree angle and places his head

in something like a wing clap display until she is receptive.
there are many gulf fritillaries around here but i have not witnessed the clap display yet.

Thank you fred...glad you enjoyed them.
I imagine they have a hidden place for it where they can't be seen.
