behavioural ecologist studying burying beetles for my PhD at the University of Edinburgh. Always looking for insects. (he / him).
+ more generally, I've enjoyed Michael J Ryan's Book "A Taste for the Beautiful" a source of info for this sort of thing
(and as a self-plug the Animal Behavior Podcast episode with him as a guest is a fun listen)

I know he made the point about birds having the same taste for beauty as we do in The Descent of Man. Perhaps try "On the various contrivances...."? Not one I've read yet - but seems likely from scanning through "Mechanisms and evolution of deceptive pollination in orchids" by Jersáková et al 2006
