    thanks AY, they are feed from the honeydew drop that the aphids excrete when the ant tickles it- they collect them- that's why the ant's farm the aphids

    thanks

    That first Ant that is carrying the body of the second Ant looks like it was lifted off a Spiders plate, cause it appears to have webbing on it :D

    It's quite interesting to watch Ants harvest Aphids, and even more interesting when an intruder like a Lady Bug comes on the scene.

    Great series Courierman clap.gif .... Skippy
