The path with insects

You listen to hundreds of wings around you. Their red eyes are full of evil, and you notice their faces, they are smiling. One of them says "A human, you will serve the swarm." and the insect laughs.

They move with coordination, ready to attack you. But you notice an area close to this path where there are no hives, the wasps don't fly over there, and there is a smell of perfume and multiple butterflies.
You have only a few seconds to decide.
Stand and fight but they are too many, or flee to the zone with butterflies risking something worse.
