The butterfly and bumble bee turf war is on. He never saw it coming.
THE FORESTER ARTIST 
Said the Comma (Polygonia c-album) to the Bee; ‘Get off my wing, silly Bee, there is enough for two’.
Said the Bee to the Comma; ‘No wonder your wings have these ragged edges, you take up too much space’.
It took them some time to rearrange themselves before sharing the nectar. By then a flower-fly approached; they had never saw it coming.

It was kind of like a little goat at the feeding trough when the big brahma bull comes trotting up. The goat thinks he’s going to get stomped on and runs away. Meanwhile, the bull says “goat what goat, I didn’t a goat.”
