Bentley (**Daltonio in French/NA Dub**) is Godfrey's trusty assistant and a friend of Flynn and Alex. He sometimes helps them during missions, whenever the Krud Army invades or finding pollen to feed the prism. His original characterization as Daltonio is dramatically different from his UK characterization as Bentley, so all the differences will be explained on this page.

## Appearence

Bentley is a small green bumblebee with segmented iridescent red spots all over his body and one pair of wings. His eyes are set somewhat high on his head, and he has long antennae that bend forwards and upwards. His nose is somewhat similar to Flynn's, but more pronounced and spherical. His arms and antennae have a warm yellow gradient, and he has red "shoes". He wears thick, circular glasses that appear to float in front of his eyes.

## Personality

Bentley is a happy-go-lucky guy who enjoys his job and is rather patriotic to the Verigreens and the Flowered City. He tends not to interact with the Kruds often in the show, but certainly dislikes them. As is seen when Bentley is splashed with Koal Juice, he has a bit of a pessimistic side as well. He can be easily discouraged and adopts a defeatist mentality when things go wrong, becoming uncooperative. Though his age in the UK dub is unclear, he is implied to be considerably older than Flynn and Alex since he refers to them as "children". Even so, he can be very childish and is usually seen by Godfrey's side. He speaks with a Northern English accent.

Daltonio, on the other hand, is implied to be younger than (or the same age as) Aelia and Fulgor, and speaks with an exaggerated lisp. Daltonio is oblivious and not very bright, and very easily excitable. He can also be rather pessimistic, though he comes across as more dramatic and mopey than his UK counterpart. His favorite phrase is "We're all washed up!", which he repeats often whenever bad things happen to him.

## Trivia

* Bentley has been hit by Koal Juice twice, which is more than any other named Verigreen on the show.
	+ Technically Flynn has also been hit twice, but the first time he was shot by a Koal Gun, it had no effect on him whatsoever.
* The original French version and NA dub both mention that Daltonio is colorblind. This is particularly ironic, since he collects and sorts pollen.
* Daltonio is referred to as a bumblebee on the French DVD menu, literally written as "bourdon". This can be confusing, since his color scheme doesn't appear to match that description at all.
	+ He may be modeled after the genus Agapostemon, which is a type of Sweat Bee. It is iridescent and green, though it does not have red spots.
	+ Because of the color discrepancy, his dual wings, and him referring to his younger self as a "maggot", he could easily be mistaken for a Green Bottle Fly, which are also iridescent, green, and have bright red eyes.
		- Although, the usage of "maggot" is debatable, since Fugg refers to Draffsack being one in Sikk At Heart, and Cockroaches don't even have larval forms, so it could imply that 'maggot' is just used as a colloquial term for baby Kruds and baby Verigreens in general.
