The Auttabee

There exists a rarely seen, but often talked about,
kind of insect called the Auttabee.
I think I saw one on display one time at the
Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry.
The information about it said it was a reflection
of small, but important changes in society 
related to the advances in technology.
It reacts to what some call reality.

It is a distant cousin of the Wannabees, but
there are many of them and they are easy to see.
These creatures prove that imitation is really
the sincerest form of flattery, and it has been
documented that there are at least 57 species.

The Auttabees fly fast, and only the queen stings.
The reaction to is it allergic to some human beings.
Faces get red, and heads start to swell it seems.
If you happen to catch the Auttabee, please see me.
