Some ants farm aphids, tending them and stroking them with their antenna for the sweet honeydew produced from the rear end. I rather wish they wouldn't when it's my plants that are the farm!

They do that here too, but since I don’t grow food crops it is not a problem for me. I like Ants, they are such clever creatures, and to see them farming the Aphids is rather special.
Good post. thanks.
