Two butterfly species are competing for the same nectar of a flower in a garden. To survive and coexist together, they may avoid competition in the same garden by:
  1. feeding at the same time
  2. choosing different foraging patterns
  3. increasing time spent on attacking each other
  4. predating on each other

Solution

Two competing species can co-exist for the same type of resource by changing their foraging pattern. These butterflies can obtain nectar at different times and chase different floral parts to avoid competition.
