Farmers lunchtime
It was so enjoyable to watch those huge ants farm the little aphids. They are so gentle with them.
I was sitting a while watching how they walk around, make sure nothing attacks them and just gently tap them so the aphid pees with the sweet nectar that the and love.
Smart ants. They create perfect and safe conditions for the little pests, so they can profit from them :)
Aphids are safe, ants are fed. Perfect deal!
I wound want to piss them off. Look at those big, mean jaws. The bite must really be painful.

They look kind of scary but cute :) And those leaves are so beautifully detailed! You've captured them perfectly :)
So many clever creatures. Everyone gets fed when we work together. We could learn a thing or two from them ;)
OOOOOH!!! Don't disturb ants while eating! They get psycho!
What details, great photos :)
Not a fan of the ants since I have so many in my house. And they carry the aphids all over my plants. I need more spiders. Even though they don't eat ants
Beautiful photos!
But I'm also not a fan of these annoying ants!
