Considering the number of Desmometopa specimens that can be found on a single 'host', feeding together, I doubt that stress will be the cause of a physical confrontation iike this. If I remember I will dig up my copy of Sabrosky's paper on Desmometope (you could be right there) and see if he mentions anything.
