For the regions containing patches of the water body, wetness takes a value of greater than -0.0710. Applying this threshold to the image and again taking 2 kilometers flight zone for the mosquitoes around water bodies, figures 8 and 9 for Minab and Kahnooj were produced respectively. The detected water bodies in the Kahnooj image were as small as a pixel and consequently cannot be detected visually in the figure.

Ethnologists refer to this spatial boundary as the flight initiation distance (FID) or flight zone (Blumstein, Anthony, Harcourt, & Ross, 2003). It is the distance that must be kept between an animal and a potential threat to avoid triggering a fight or flight reaction. Experts who work with emotionally damaged animals, such as dogs, horses, or elephants, have found that this distance can be reduced from as much as 200 yards to mere inches, if the frightened animal can be enticed into closing the distance at his or her own initiative (Anthony & Spence, 2009; Millan & Peltier, 2006; Rashid, 2017; Roberts, 1996). A highly astute observation by Rashid (2017) is that animals cannot learn when in a state of fear or panic. In this case with the author’s patient, the woman needed to learn that sexual experiences with a loving partner can be pleasurable. For this learning to occur, it was necessary to reduce her FID from something greater than 12 feet down to practically zero. The problem with my plan was that the size of the office did not provide enough space for her to feel safe to begin with. Under these circumstances, of feeling trapped and threatened, catatonic immobility automatically ensued.
