The caterpillar that turned into a butterfly is an analogy that does not fit Bear at all. He is the maggot that blossomed into a raging Bluebottle.

As I was reading I was nodding and thinking, I bet even after the fly spray you'd find he'd laid eggs somewhere moist in this hot weather so when you opened your wheelie bing you'd find maggots a couple of days later. Then I read your last paragraph!
Great minds....
