How Pitiful is that?

The males of Xylocopa tabaniformis parkinsoniae are very aggressive bees. They are also good fliers. As good as bee flies maybe. But there are few flower resources to buzz around, protecting from the other bees, flies, birds, people or whatnot. So this morning Crumby espied a male Xylocopa guarding a stop sign. Stop signs are red, aint they. How pitiful is that?
