flower fly

see the tiny bee?
I smirk, for it is a lie.
It is not a bee
but striped like one, it is a flower fly

Because she is small, and at nature’s mercy
He made her as great a camouflage as she can be.
She is dressed from antenna to buttocks in stripes.
Her entire body looks like a honeybee; making others say “yipes!”

She is the purple lilac loving flower fly
no one messes with this rose sitter, and I tell you why…
Incognito, she looks like a bee, this flower guy!
