A blowfly reflects

Data is (are) the prey and sustenance of science.  With vigilance, cunning, and skill, the lionesses detect and subdue it.  The alpha males get first access to the kill (and, strangely, credit for it), followed by the females and cubs. When they cannot be kept at bay any longer, the hyenas get to continue the lions’ work.  At that point, if we’re lucky, the remaining carcass is left to open access, and we vultures and blowflies can do with it what we will.
