The Japanese beetles and bees were competing for the same flowers. This beetle was having none of it and the bee beat a hasty retreat 😏

There was an Old Man of Quebec,
A beetle ran over his neck;
But he cried, ‘With a needle,
I’ll slay you, O beadle!’
That angry Old Man of Quebec.
Edward Lear
This came to mind when I saw your comment on the photo. I see that Lear used the word “beadle” for some reason. I don’t know what the significance is of using it (a parish officer).
Anyway, great photo, and interesting showdown.

I wasn’t familiar with this limerick 😊. II think the bee made the right choice, thanks!
